Understanding Callbacks in JavaScript for Asynchronous Operations

I explored the concept of callbacks, which are essential for handling asynchronous operations. 👉 A callback is simply a function passed as an argument to another function, executed after a task completes. This pattern is widely used in JavaScript for: 🔹 Event handling 🔹 Timers (setTimeout) 🔹 Array methods (forEach, map) 🔹 API calls and async operations Example: function greet(name) { console.log("Hello " + name); } function processUser(callback) { callback("Padmaja"); } processUser(greet); Callbacks help JavaScript stay non-blocking and efficient, allowing tasks like user interactions or data fetching to run smoothly. Next, I’m exploring how Promises and Async/Await improve readability and solve callback nesting (“callback hell”).
