- Renamed/ordered the directories for macros, clippy, and conversions, shifting them all one up in numerical order to fit async as number 21 - Added the 21_async directories in exercises and solutions - Added async1.rs in the 21_async directory in exercises and solutions - Added async to the info.toml in rustlings-macros and reordered the rest of the exercises in there as well - Created an exercise for async1 and its solution

# Async (Asynchronous Programming)
|
|
|
|
Asynchronous programming allows a program to perform tasks concurrently
|
|
without blocking the main execution thread. It is particularly useful
|
|
for I/O-bound operations, such as network requests or file reading,
|
|
where waiting for a response can be done in the background.
|
|
In Rust, asynchronous functions are defined using the async keyword
|
|
and are executed with the help of an asynchronous runtime like tokio.
|
|
This approach improves the efficiency and responsiveness of applications
|
|
by enabling them to handle multiple tasks simultaneously.
