Mastering the Wait: Async Functions in JavaScript

**Async Functions:** Imagine a function fetching data. A regular function would block everything until the data arrives. An `async` function, however, returns a Promise immediately, allowing your program to keep running.

**Await to the Rescue:** The `await` keyword pauses execution within an `async` function **until** a Promise resolves. It's like telling your program to wait patiently for a specific task to finish before moving on.

Async/await makes asynchronous code look more synchronous, improving readability.

Your application stays responsive while waiting for slow tasks to complete in the background.

**Error Handling with Ease:** Async/await allows for easier error handling using familiar `try...catch` blocks.

You have an `async` function that, for instance, fetches data.

The function returns a Promise immediately.

You use `await` to pause execution and wait for the Promise to resolve.

Once the Promise resolves (or rejects), the awaited value becomes available for further use in your code.
