# The Event Loop
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:
In order to do that, the runtime keeps a structure called The Event Loop which
is 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.
1.
```javascript
setTimeout(() => console.log('test'), 1000);
setTimeout(() => console.log('test'), 1000);
```
`console.log('test')` will be put in the Event Loop.
2.
2.
```javascript
const promise = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
console.log('test');
resolve();
const promise = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
console.log('test');
resolve();
}).then(() => {
console.log('test2');
console.log('test2');
});
```
`console.log('test2')` will be put in the Event Loop.
`console.log('test2')` will be put in the Event Loop.
