What are the differences between Promises and Callbacks in Jasmine?

Can you explain the differences between Promises and Callbacks in Jasmine?

Sure! Callbacks are functions passed as arguments to other functions, executed after a task is completed. Promises, on the other hand, represent a value that may be available now, or in the future, or never. They provide a cleaner way to handle asynchronous operations.

Why should I prefer Promises over Callbacks?

Promises help avoid callback hell, making code easier to read and maintain. They also allow chaining, which can simplify error handling.

Can you give me an example of using both in Jasmine?

Certainly! In Jasmine, you can use callbacks in done() to signal completion, while with Promises, you can return a Promise and use then() for handling results.

What are some common pitfalls when using Callbacks?

Common pitfalls include callback hell, where nested callbacks become hard to manage, and error handling can become complicated.
