Promise in JavaScript in for loop

In JavaScript, a Promise is an object that represents the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation and its resulting value. It provides a way to handle asynchronous operations more easily and effectively by using chained callbacks.

When it comes to using Promises in a for loop, there are a few key points to consider. One common scenario is when you want to execute a series of asynchronous operations in a loop and wait for their completion before moving forward. In such cases, Promises can be extremely helpful.

Here's an example of how Promises can be used in a for loop:

function delay(ms) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

async function executeAsyncTask(index) {
  await delay(1000); // Simulating an asynchronous operation delay

  console.log(`Async Task ${index} completed`);
}

async function executeAsyncTasks() {
  for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
    await executeAsyncTask(i);
  }
}

executeAsyncTasks();

In this example, we have a delay function that returns a Promise, which resolves after a given delay. The executeAsyncTask function simulates an asynchronous task by waiting for the specified duration using the delay function. Inside the executeAsyncTasks function, we utilize a for loop to execute multiple asynchronous tasks sequentially.

By using the await keyword before calling executeAsyncTask(i), we ensure that each iteration of the loop waits for the completion of the previous iteration's asynchronous task before proceeding to the next one. This way, the tasks run one after another instead of all at once.

When executed, this code will output:

Async Task 1 completed
Async Task 2 completed
Async Task 3 completed
Async Task 4 completed
Async Task 5 completed

The usage of Promises in a for loop allows for better control and coordination of asynchronous operations. It simplifies the logic by removing callback chaining and makes the code more readable.

Remember to utilize the async and await keywords appropriately to work with Promises inside a for loop. Additionally, handle any errors that might occur during the asynchronous operations using try-catch blocks or .catch() method of Promises.
