What is the difference between Synchronous and Asynchronous updates?

  1. In synchronous processing, the program waits: control returns to the program only when the task has been completed

  2. In asynchronous processing, the program does not wait: the system returns control after merely logging the request for execution

  3. In asynchronous processing, the program waits: control returns to the program only when the task has been completed

  4. In synchronous processing, the program does not wait: the system returns control after merely logging the request for execution

A,B Correct answer
