JavaScript Shared Memory

Simple Explanation of JavaScript Shared Memory:

Imagine you have a large box. This box is shared with your entire family. Whenever anyone wants to use this box, they can open it and take out the things they need.

When something is placed inside the box, others can see and use it. However, if multiple people try to use the same thing at the same time, it can cause a problem. For example, if two brothers want to use the same toy at the same time, it's not possible. Also, if one person takes something out and others can't use it, that will also be a problem.

This is the same kind of task that happens in JavaScript using Shared Memory. Multiple processes and worker threads can use the same memory area (the box), so they can use their own required data (the items). But these need to be shared, not directly copied, to ensure that there are no problems with other processes or threads.
