Async/Await (JavaScript feature)

Async/await is a JavaScript feature that simplifies working with asynchronous code, which is code that runs in the background without blocking the main program. With `async`, you define a function that returns a promise, meaning it will take time to complete. Using `await` inside an async function allows you to pause execution until a promise is settled, making it easier to read and write code that handles tasks like fetching data or waiting for a response, as it looks similar to synchronous code. This enhances clarity and helps manage tasks that do not complete immediately.
