Immutable objects are data structures whose state cannot be modified after they have been created, ensuring consistency and thread-safety in concurrent programming environments. They are often used in functional programming and can lead to simpler and more predictable code by eliminating side effects.

Data structures are fundamental constructs that organize and store data efficiently, enabling effective data manipulation and access. Understanding different data structures and their trade-offs is essential for optimizing algorithms and solving complex computational problems.

Consistency in concurrent programming

Thread-safety ensures that shared data structures or resources are accessed consistently across multiple threads, preventing data corruption and unintended behavior. Achieving thread-safety is crucial in a multi-threaded environment as it ensures reliability and correctness in concurrent execution.

thread-safety

Functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing state or mutable data. It emphasizes the use of pure functions, higher-order functions, and immutable data structures to promote code that is predictable, easier to test, and inherently parallelizable.
