JavaScript Synchronous vs Asynchronous Programming Basics

Day 12 #100DaysOfCode 💻 Today I learned about Synchronous vs Asynchronous JavaScript, especially how setTimeout() and setInterval() work. JavaScript runs code synchronously by default (line by line). But functions like "setTimeout()" run asynchronously, meaning they execute later without blocking the main thread. Example: console.log("1"); setTimeout(() => { console.log("2"); }, 0); console.log("3"); Output: 1 3 2 Even with "0ms", "setTimeout" goes to the callback queue, so the synchronous code runs first. Understanding this concept helped me see how JavaScript handles non-blocking tasks. #JavaScript #AsyncJavaScript #WebDevelopment #CodingJourney #Akbiplob
