    Concurrent = multiple things happening at the same time

    Cumulative = amount of stuff added up over time

    Concurrent: at the same time - if you eat two cookies at the same time you’re eating them concurrently. Cumulative: accumulating/growing over time - If you eat a cookie now and eat a cookie later you’ve cumulatively eaten 2 cookies. Bonus points: wouldn’t it have been a lot easier to google ‘define:<word>’ than to make a post here to get other people to answer for you? You’d get the answer a lot quicker the other way, too.

    Edit: I typed out two sets of the same numbers, one in a row, intonating one after the other, and the others in a column in an attempt to impart the idea of all at once.

    My Lemmy client put both on single lines, which is confusing. So I removed the original comment.
