How do I implement sync methods in my application?

How do I implement sync methods in my application?

To implement synchronous methods, you can define functions that execute tasks in a blocking manner, ensuring each task completes before the next begins.

Can you give me an example of a synchronous method?

Sure! Here's a simple example in JavaScript:

function syncMethod() {
    console.log('Task 1 started');
    // Simulate a blocking task
    for (let i = 0; i < 1e9; i++) {} // Busy wait
    console.log('Task 1 completed');
}

syncMethod();
console.log('Next task');

What are the downsides of using synchronous methods?

The main downsides include blocking the main thread, which can lead to unresponsive applications, especially in UI environments.

How can I convert a sync method to async?

You can use promises or async/await syntax to convert a synchronous method to asynchronous, allowing non-blocking execution.
