Exercise: Safe vs. Unsafe Parallelism

Explore the concepts of safe and unsafe parallelism in C++ by analyzing a common data race problem in parallel summation. Learn to replace unsafe code using std::for_each with the correct parallel algorithm std::reduce and the std::execution::par policy, ensuring deterministic and thread-safe results in concurrent programming.
