- # Promise and Illustration with Example:
- - **Promise**:
- - A promise is an object representing the eventual completion or failure of an asynchronous operation.
- - It allows handling asynchronous operations in a more manageable and readable way, avoiding callback hell.
- - **Example**:
- ```javascript
- const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
- setTimeout(() => {
- resolve("Promise resolved!"); // Success
- // reject(new Error("Promise rejected!")); // Failure
- }, 2000);
- });
- myPromise
- .then((result) => console.log(result)) // On success
- .catch((error) => console.error(error)); // On failure
- ```
- # Closure and Lexical Environment with Working Example:
- - **Closure**:
- - Closure is the combination of a function bundled together with references to its surrounding state (lexical environment).
- - It allows a function to retain access to the variables of its containing scope even after the outer function has finished executing.
- - **Illustration**:
- ```javascript
- function outerFunction() {
- const outerVariable = "I'm from outer function";
- function innerFunction() {
- console.log(outerVariable); // Inner function has access to outerVariable
- }
- return innerFunction;
- }
- const closureExample = outerFunction();
- closureExample(); // Outputs: "I'm from outer function"
- ```
- # Node.js, Event Loop, Event Queues, and Types:
- - **Node.js**:
- - Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. It allows executing JavaScript code outside the browser, such as on the server.
- - **Event Loop**:
- - Event Loop is a core mechanism in Node.js responsible for handling asynchronous operations.
- - It continuously checks the event queue for pending events and executes them one by one.
- - **Event Queues**:
- - Node.js has several event queues:
- 1. **Timers Queue**: Contains callbacks from `setTimeout()` and `setInterval()`.
- 2. **I/O Queue**: Holds I/O-related callbacks like file system operations, network requests, etc.
- 3. **Microtask Queue (Job Queue)**: Contains promises' `then()` and `catch()` callbacks, `process.nextTick()`, and `queueMicrotask()`.
- - **Types of Event Queue**:
- - **Macrotasks**: Represented by the Timers and I/O queues.
- - **Microtasks**: Represented by the Microtask queue.
- - Microtasks have higher priority and are executed before macrotasks in each iteration of the event loop.
