In the previous lessons, you learned about asynchronous programming which allows other code to run while we wait for some time-consuming tasks to complete, like fetching data from a server, reading data from a file, and so on.
`async`/`await`, built on top of promises, makes writing and reading asynchronous code easier. When you put the `async` keyword before a function, it means that function will always return a `Promise`. Only inside an `async` function, you can use the `await` keyword, which allows you to wait for a `Promise` to resolve before moving on to the next line of code. Here's an example to illustrate how `async`/`await` works:
