JAVASCRIPT INTERVIEW QUESTION
It looks like you're exploring the order of execution in JavaScript,
specifically with regards to setTimeout,
Promise.resolve, and synchronous code.
`setTimeout(()=>{
console.log('Timeout')
},0)
Promise.resolve().then(()=>
console.log('promise')
)
console.log('end');`
Here's what happens:
setTimeout is called with a timeout of 0, which means the callback will be executed as soon as possible,
but not immediately. It's added to the macrotask queue.
Promise.resolve() creates a resolved promise, and the then method is called with a callback.
This callback is added to the microtask queue.
console.log('end') is executed immediately, as it's a synchronous statement.
The order of execution is:
1. end
2. promise (microtask queue is executed before the next macrotask)
3. Timeout (macrotask queue is executed)
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
` console.log('start');
setTimeout(() => {
console.log("middle");
}, 0);
console.log('end');`
1. console.log('start') is executed immediately.
2. setTimeout is called with a timeout of 0,
which adds the callback to the macrotask queue.
3. console.log('end') is executed immediately.
The order of execution is:
start
end
middle (macrotask is executed)
############################################################################################
Think of it like this:
Synchronous code
console.log('start')
console.log('end')
Macrotask queue
console.log("middle")
The synchronous code is executed first, and then the macrotask queue is processed,
executing the callback.
key concept:
synchronous and asynchronous code works-
1. synchronous code is executed first
2. macrotask queue is executed next
3. microtask queue is executed after the macrotask queue
--> macrotask queue: the queue of tasks that are executed by the browser, such as
setTimeout, setInterval, I/O, UI rendering, etc.
--> microtask queue: the queue of tasks that are executed by the browser, such as
promise resolution/rejection, async/await, etc.
