Difference between Asynchronous and synchronous check

  1. Asynchronous (Async) and Synchronous (Sync):
    • Asynchronous: In computing, asynchronous operations or communication do not require all parties to be in sync or to wait for each other. In an asynchronous system, tasks can operate independently and may not finish at the same time. This is commonly used in scenarios where you want to continue processing other tasks while waiting for a response or event. Asynchronous operations are often used in web development (e.g., asynchronous JavaScript requests) and distributed systems.
    • Synchronous: In contrast, synchronous operations or communication require all parties to be synchronized and actively waiting for each other. In a synchronous system, tasks are executed one after the other in a predefined order, and each task typically waits for the previous one to complete before starting. Synchronous operations ensure that each step is completed before moving on to the next, making it easier to manage the flow of data and control program execution.
