What is the difference between promises and async functions?

Can you explain the difference between promises and async functions?

Sure! Promises are objects that represent the eventual completion or failure of an asynchronous operation, while async functions are a syntactic sugar over promises that allow you to write asynchronous code in a more synchronous manner.

How do I create a promise?

You can create a promise using the Promise constructor. For example: let myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => { /* async code */ });.

What about async functions? How do I define one?

You define an async function using the async keyword before the function declaration. For example: async function myAsyncFunction() { /* code */ }.

Can I use await inside a promise?

No, await can only be used inside an async function. It pauses the execution of the async function until the promise is resolved.
