What is Asynchronous Programming?

- Asynchronous programming allows a program to perform tasks without blocking the


main thread. This means that the program can continue executing other tasks while
waiting for an asynchronous operation to complete. This is particularly useful for
tasks that take an indeterminate amount of time, such as network requests, file
I/O, or timers.

- In the context of asynchronous programming, callbacks are used to handle the


result of an asynchronous operation once it completes.

Examples: Network Requests, File I/O, Timers, Event Handling, etc.

- When dealing with asynchronous operations in JavaScript, such as setTimeout, you


need to ensure that each step completes before the next one starts. Simply writing
one function call after another won't guarantee that the previous asynchronous
operation has completed. This is why callbacks (or other asynchronous handling
mechanisms like Promises or async/await) are used.

- If you write asynchronous operations one after another without handling their
completion, they will all start almost simultaneously, leading to unpredictable
results.

- By passing a callback function, you ensure that the next step only starts after
the current asynchronous operation completes. This maintains the correct sequence
of operations.
