async-tasks

Asynchronous tasks (async tasks) in computer science refer to a programming model where tasks can be executed independently and concurrently without blocking the main program’s execution thread. This allows the program to remain responsive and efficient, especially when dealing with I/O-bound operations like network requests or file operations. Instead of waiting for each task to complete before moving on, the program can initiate a task and then continue executing other code. When the task is finished, the program is notified and can process the result. Async tasks are often implemented using techniques like threads, coroutines, or callbacks, and are essential for building scalable and responsive applications.
