What are some examples of asynchronous coding?

Can you provide some examples of asynchronous coding in JavaScript?

Sure! One common example is using the async and await keywords to handle promises. For instance, you can fetch data from an API like this:

async function fetchData() {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
    const data = await response.json();
    console.log(data);
}
fetchData();

What about using callbacks? Can you show me an example?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example using a callback:

function fetchData(callback) {
    setTimeout(() => {
        const data = { message: 'Hello, World!' };
        callback(data);
    }, 1000);
}

fetchData((data) => {
    console.log(data);
});

Are there any differences between async/await and promises?

Yes, async/await is syntactic sugar over promises. It makes asynchronous code look more like synchronous code, which can improve readability. However, both are used to handle asynchronous operations.
