What is the purpose of async/await in TypeScript?

Async/await is used to handle asynchronous operations in a more readable way, making code easier to understand.

Can you give me an example of how to use async/await?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

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

What happens if I don't use await with an async function?

If you don't use await, the function will return a promise immediately, and you won't get the resolved value.

Are there any drawbacks to using async/await?

One drawback is that it can lead to unhandled promise rejections if not properly managed with try/catch.
