Updating In Real Time

So programs pause when they're taking input.

How do I split the program into two processes, one that take inputs and the other that keeps working behind its back?

No, let me rephrase that.

What specific topic should I study to be able to do that?

Thanks.

Aren't you looking for Multithreading?
Also inter-process communication, but you probably want multi-threading as hoogo stated.
Technically, async I/O (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_I/O ) doesn't require multithreading or multiprocessing, but +1 to looking up multithreading as the most practical thing to do here.
