What is Process?

Process: A process is a program in execution.

It is an active entity, represented through the value of the program counter and the contents of registers of the processor. A process usually includes the process stack that contains temporary data as method parameters, local variables and return addresses. Two processes that may or may not be connected with similar program are two separate execution sequences along with its own text and data sections. A process may spawn several processes as this runs.
