Asynchronous JavaScript — Part 2 of 4
You’re telling me JavaScript runs a stack and queue? 🤔
As an extension of my previous posts, I asked ChatGPT this question about the diagram, “What is executing all of this functionality?”
It’s response:
The call stack is managed by the JavaScript engine, executing functions one at a time in order. The event loop, part of the runtime environment (like a browser or Node.js), continuously checks if the stack is empty and moves tasks from the event queue (like callbacks or promises) to the stack for execution. Together, they handle asynchronous operations efficiently.
A pretty good explanation! But as I read through it, I noticed at least two errors.
What do you think they are? Let’s discuss in the comments!
