Synchronous vs Asynchronous

Explore the key differences between synchronous and asynchronous execution in C#. Understand how synchronous code runs sequentially and blocks execution, while asynchronous code enables non-blocking operations. This lesson helps you grasp these concepts to build more efficient concurrent applications.

Synchronous execution refers to line-by-line execution of code. If a function is invoked, the program execution waits until the function call is completed. Synchronous execution blocks at each method call before proceeding to the next line of code. A program executes in the same sequence as the code in the source code file. Synchronous execution is synonymous with serial ...
