JavaScript is synchronous (By default)
ShubhradeepBy default - JavaScript is synchronous. That means it runs code line-by-line, one after another.
Blocking: Each line must complete before the next starts
But wait... it also supports asynchronous programming using callbacks, Promises, and async/await!
That’s how it handles things like API calls without freezing your app.
Cool right? That’s the power of JS + the Event Loop.
