What Are Promises?
A Promise represents the eventual
result of an asynchronous
operation.
States:
Pending Fulfilled Rejected
Example:
Key Features of Promises
Handle multiple asynchronous
tasks in sequence.
Ideal for:
Parallel tasks (e.g., [Link])
Explicit error handling with .catch()
What Is Async/Await?
Cleaner way to work with Promises.
async
Declares an asynchronous function.
await
Pauses execution until a Promise resolves.
Example:
Key Features of
Async/Await
Readable Syntax:
Sequential code structure.
Easier to understand and debug.
Error Handling:
Use try...catch for better error
management.
Ideal for:
Sequential asynchronous operations.

When to Use Promises
Parallel Tasks:
Use [Link] or [Link] for
tasks that can run simultaneously.
Example:
When to Use Async/Await
Sequential Tasks:
Handle operations that depend on
previous results.
Example:
Common Mistakes
Mixing Promises with Async/Await:
Avoid combining .then() and await in
the same function.
Forgetting Error Handling:
Promises: Always use .catch()
Async/Await: Use try...catch
Using await in Loops:
Use [Link] for parallel tasks
instead.
