JavaScript is single-threaded but it can still take advantage of asynchronous
|
||||
programming.
|
||||
|
||||
The Event Loop is a Javascript construct responsible
|
||||
for holding operations to be executed asynchronously with respect to the main
|
||||
flow of execution. Whenever we meet a portion of code that may not be
|
||||
possible to execute now, it is put in the Event Loop. Let's look at some
|
||||
examples:
|
||||
|
||||
1. ```javascript
|
||||
setTimeout(() => console.log('test'), 1000);
|
||||
```
|
||||
`console.log('test')` will be put in the Event Loop.
|
||||
|
||||
2. ```javascript
|
||||
const promise = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
|
||||
console.log('test');
|
||||
resolve();
|
||||
}).then(() => {
|
||||
console.log('test2');
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
`console.log('test2')` will be put in the Event Loop.

JavaScript is single-threaded (but note that NodeJS is not entirely single-threaded, as it internally mantains a thread

pool), but it can still take advantage of asynchronous programming.
