👉 In computer science, "asynchronous programming" refers to a programming paradigm where one or more processes are executed in separate threads and do not wait for each other to complete their tasks. This approach can be used to solve problems that involve multiple concurrent requests or operations, such as file I/O, network communication, or data processing. In this context, the term "asynchronous" refers to the fact that the execution of a task is independent of the completion of any other task in the same process.
