What is Swift's async/await feature?

Can you explain what async/await is in Swift?

Sure! Async/await is a feature in Swift that simplifies writing asynchronous code, making it easier to read and maintain.

How does it improve the readability of code?

It allows you to write asynchronous code that looks like synchronous code, reducing the need for complex callback structures.

Can you give me a simple example of using async/await?

Of course! Here's a basic example:

func fetchData() async throws -> Data {
    let url = URL(string: "https://api.example.com/data")!
    let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)
    return data
}

What are some common pitfalls when using async/await?

Some common pitfalls include forgetting to mark functions as async, handling errors properly, and managing task cancellation.
