When should I use async vs sync programming?

Can you explain when to use async vs sync programming?

Sure! Use async programming when you need to handle tasks that can run concurrently, like I/O operations.

What are some examples of tasks that benefit from async?

Examples include web requests, file reading/writing, and database queries where waiting for a response is inefficient.

Are there situations where sync is better?

Yes, sync is better for tasks that require immediate results or when the operations are quick and don't block the thread.

How do I decide which one to use in my project?

Consider the nature of your tasks: if they are I/O-bound and can be parallelized, go async; otherwise, sync might be simpler.
