Synchronous functions run each line of code sequentially and any delay to execution would lock up the user interface for that time. Asynchronous functions are run in the background, whilst allowing the other code to continue,

Callback hell is where there are several callbacks nested within one another and it is very difficult to debug.
-
Using promises in javascript is one way of solving this problem. There’s also librarie’s like meteor.

synchronous functions - can only run one section of code at any time
asychronous function - can run multiple sections of code at any one time. -
it is caused by excessive use of callbacks that are nested, making code complex and unmanagable

we can use promises to help us solve callback hell. JQuery ships with a simple built-in promise library that enables us to chain callbacks and deal with errors.

1. What is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous functions?
Synchronous functions execute statements one after another (each statement waits for the previous statement to finish before executing) and has the potential of blocking further execution until it has finished what it is doing.
Asynchronous functions do not have to wait. Asynchronous code takes statements outside of the main program flow, allowing the code after the asynchronous call to be executed immediately without waiting.
2. What is callback hell?
Callback hell is excessive callbacks with multi-level function calls.
3. Which technique can help us solve callback hell?
In jQuery, we can use a simple built-in library called promises that enables the chaining of callbacks and dealing with errors.
In Node.js, a different approach is used. That is, by extending the runtime to abstract way the asynchronicity and write code synchronously.

- Synchronous functions execute in the existing thread and block until completion. Asynchronous threads execute in a separate thread and do not block the main thread executing.
- Callback hell is the increasing complexity of multi level nested callback functions.

1* Synchronous It waits for each operation to complete, after that only it executes the next operation. … Asynchronous It never waits for each operation to complete, it executes all operations, the result of each operation will be handled once the result is available.
2* What is callback hell? This is a big issue caused by coding with complex nested callbacks. Here, each and every callback takes an argument that is a result of the previous callbacks. In this manner, The code structure looks like a pyramid, making it difficult to read and maintain. Also, if there is an error in one function, then all other functions get affected.
3* 1. The use of Promises can solve a callback hell.

1_Synchronous way: It waits for each operation to complete, after that only it executes the next operation. … Asynchronous way: It never waits for each operation to complete, rather it executes all operations in the first GO only. The result of each operation will be handled once the result is available.
2_Callback hell is a phenomenon that afflicts a JavaScript developer when he tries to execute multiple asynchronous operations one after the other. By nesting callbacks in such a way, we easily end up with error-prone, hard to read, and hard to maintain code.Soln: Best code practice to handle it.
3_Async Waterfall is amazing simple and powerful technique to get out of callback hell. On top of that it makes code readable, easy to understand and even easy to maintain and debug.

- Synchronous functions is where only one section of the code in the function can run at one time. This blocks the program’s further execution until the previous function is executed. On the other hand, Asynchronous functions do not block the JavaScript thread. Therefore, more than one section of the code in the function can run at the same time.
- Callback hell is where you have many functions nested. This is undesirable because of the headache of executing a code in order to perform relatively simple tasks becomes very confusing. This makes the code harder to write, debug and maintain.

- What is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous functions?
Synchronous functions execute one function at a time, in the order they come in, and must finish before working on something else.
Asynchronous functions can initiate a function, then set it aside until it becomes efficient for it to be ran or the resources exist to run it are available.

What is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous functions?
A synchronous task occupies the browser continuously until completion, but an asynchronous task can be initiated and then put aside until a later time, allowing the browser to get started on the next programming task.

A common pattern to deal with excessive callbacks is to use promises. jQuery uses a simple built-in promise library that enables us to chain callbacks and deal with errors. Node.js uses Meteor and the Fibers package.

- Synchronous functions wait until they finish executing before moving on. Asynchronous functions are able to move on and come back to the original task once the required operations have finished.
- Callback hell is where too many operations are up in the air waiting for various things to finish and it becomes too complex to manage.

What is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous functions?
Synchronous will only do one event (function) at time and in right order they appear.
Asynchronous can call back when the event process is done, allowing the browser to work on other tasks/events in the meantime, while waiting for the call-back. -

- When you use synchronous function everything goes step by step. As example Jave is unable to answer the phone because he is opening the door.
- With Async functions the do not stop the whole thread , while waiting for an previous task to complete. As example imagine when you are writing a chat application. Using Sync would be a big problem… or in other words it would be interesting….

Synchronous functions execute code o e section at a time, in order, and block any other code being executed until they are completed. Asynchronous functions on the other hand will allow execution of other functions while they are waiting, eg, for data to come back from the server.

- What is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous functions? The difference between synchronous and asynchronous is synchronous happens at the same time and asynchronous happens at its own pace so in a function synchronous follows a single thread as javascript can only do one function at a time and asynchronous set it a side it aside to be called back later after it was executed.

Synchronous function run on a single thread (serially), one must complete before the next one can start. Asynchronous functions enable you to execute it’s code only after a previous task is complete.
