What is the difference between Synchronous and Asynchronous updates?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
In synchronous processing, the program waits: control returns to the program only when the task has been completed
B
In asynchronous processing, the program does not wait: the system returns control after merely logging the request for execution
💡 Explanation:
Synchronous processing waits for task completion before returning control, ensuring the result is available immediately. Asynchronous processing logs the request and returns control immediately, with execution happening in the background. The incorrect options swap these definitions.
