I want to ask what is Task switching?

[Pype.Clicker]

Tak switching consist in associating a state which every running program (called tasks). The OS has the control over the tasks and is able to store the current CPU state into the state space of the current task and to restore the state of another state as the CPU state.

From the programs point of view, nothing has happened.

From the user point of view, you have several running programs on a single cpu.
