Function Pointers and Callback Mechanisms in C
Function Pointers
A funtcion pointer stores the memory address of the entry point of a function. This allows functions to be passed as arguments or stored in data structures for dynamic execution.
int multiply(int a, int b) {
return a * b;
}
int main() {
// Declaration: return_type (*pointer_name)(parameter_types)
int (*op_ptr)(int ...

Five Asynchronous Programming Solutions in JavaScript
1. Callbacks
Callbacks involve passing a function as an argument to another function. They were one of the earliest and most commonly used methods for handling asynchronous operations in JavaScript.
Callbacks are not inherently asynchronous; they are simply a pattern for deferred execution.
Example:
function delayedTask(callback) {
setTimeout ...
