A Promise in JavaScript is an Objec

A Promise in JavaScript represents the eventual completion or failure of an asynchronous operation, allowing for non-blocking execution of tasks. Key states include pending, fulfilled, and rejected, with methods like then(), catch(), and finally() to manage outcomes. Promises improve code readability, avoid callback hell, and simplify error handling through chaining and structured flow control.

A Promise in JavaScript is an object representing the eventual completion (or

failure) of an asynchronous operation. It is used to handle asynchronous tasks like


fetching data, reading files, or executing delayed operations without blocking the
main thread.

Key Features of Promises:


Pending – The initial state, where the operation is still in progress.
Fulfilled – The operation completed successfully.
Rejected – The operation failed for some reason.
Methods of a Promise:
then() – Executes when the Promise is fulfilled.
catch() – Executes when the Promise is rejected.
finally() – Executes regardless of success or failure.
Promise Chaining:
Multiple .then() methods can be chained together to handle a sequence of
asynchronous operations efficiently.

Benefits of Using Promises:


Avoids callback hell (nested callbacks).
Improves code readability.
Easier error handling with .catch().
