In the world of software development, performance optimization and efficient resource utilization are paramount. As applications grow in complexity and data processing requirements, developers face the challenge of making their code run faster and more efficiently. This is where parallelism and concurrency come into play, and one of the essential tools for achieving this in C# is the Task Parallel Library (TPL).

What is the Task Parallel Library (TPL)?

The Task Parallel Library, often referred to as TPL, is a powerful and integral part of the .NET Framework and, later, .NET Core and .NET 5+. It provides a high-level…
