question about a question

[ianator]

I'm currently studying for the Information systems test.
somewhere in the test questions there is a certain one that goes something like "what is it when you are doing more than one thing one the computer" (thats pretty rough to what it really was but you get the idea)
and the answer was "multitasking"

well I just took the "official practice test" in the Official study guide and there was a similar question: "The Sharing of a computer's resources by allowing the running of two or more programs concurrently on a computer with a single CPU is called" among others there was "multiprocessing" and "multiprogramming"
the answer was multiprogramming.
*confused*

am I just being blank here? anyhow, if anyone knows more about this than me I'd love to figure it out!

thanks!

I googled it and it said that Multiprocessing is using two CPUs within the same computer system. Multiprogramming is using several different programs on the same computer at the same time.
Hope this helps.
