When should I use synchronous programming?

When should I use synchronous programming?

Synchronous programming is best used when tasks need to be executed in a specific order, like in simple scripts.

Can you give me an example of where it’s beneficial?

Sure! It's beneficial in scenarios like reading a file where you need the data before proceeding to the next step.

What are the downsides of using synchronous programming?

The main downside is that it can block the execution of other tasks, leading to inefficiencies in performance.

Are there situations where I should avoid it?

Yes, avoid it in applications requiring high responsiveness, like web servers, where asynchronous programming is preferred.
