1. Single Subscription vs. Broadcast Streams
Single Subscription Streams
- Allows only one listener at a time.
- Ideal for sequential or one-time data processing, such as reading a file or fetching data from an API.
- Example: File I/O operations or HTTP requests.
Broadcast Streams
- Allows multiple listeners simultaneously.
- Best for scenarios involving real-time data or event broadcasting, such as WebSocket updates or UI events.
- Example: Button clicks or live data updates.
Code Example:

Types of Tropisms
Tropisms are directional growth responses of a plant to environmental stimuli.

Response of a plant to light variation. It is manifested by a curvature of the plant. Stems exhibit positive phototropism (growing towards light), and roots exhibit negative phototropism (growing away from light).
Hydrotropism
Response of a plant to a stimulus based on water. Roots show positive hydrotropism, growing towards water sources.
