# Async/Await

`async/await` is a new syntax for writing asynchronous code in JavaScript. It is built on top of promises and makes asynchronous code look and behave more like synchronous code.

*   `async`: The `async` keyword is used to declare an async function. Async functions always return a promise.
*   `await`: The `await` keyword can only be used inside an async function. It pauses the execution of the function until the promise is fulfilled or rejected.

```javascript
async function myAsyncFunction() {
  try {
    const result = await myPromise;
    console.log(result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}
```
