What are Promises?

Understanding Asynchronous Communication in Code

Overview of Code Functions

  • The code contains various functions that are invoked, which users will learn over time through documentation and practice.
  • Emphasizes the asynchronous nature of communication with the browser, ensuring that each step is completed before proceeding to the next.

Promises in JavaScript

  • Discusses the concept of promises, highlighting that there is no guarantee a value will be returned due to potential issues like a browser process failing.
  • All methods used operate on promises; if a promise resolves successfully, the corresponding function executes with the returned value.

Handling Promise Failures

  • If a promised value does not arrive, certain methods can be associated with handling failures using .catch(), allowing for error management within asynchronous operations.

Logical Operations with Promises

  • Introduces an auxiliary function pAnd that mimics logical AND but operates on two promises. It executes based on whether both promises resolve successfully.
