Asyncio

Asyncio is a Python library that allows programs to handle multiple tasks at once without waiting for each task to finish before starting the next. It achieves this by using "asynchronous" operations, where tasks can pause and resume efficiently, making better use of resources. Think of it like a chef managing multiple dishes: instead of waiting for one to cook completely before starting another, the chef multitasks, checking on each dish periodically. This approach improves performance, especially in programs that deal with many I/O operations like web requests or database queries, by reducing idle time and increasing overall efficiency.
