In other cases a future and a promise are created together and associated with each other: the future is the value, the promise is the function that sets the value – essentially the return value (future) of an asynchronous function (promise). Setting the value of a future is also called resolving, fulfilling, or binding it.
First, the async keyword indicates to C# that the method is asynchronous, meaning that it may use an arbitrary number of await expressions and will bind the result to a promise. [1]: 165–168 The return type, Task<T>, is C#'s analogue to the concept of a promise, and here is indicated to have a result value of type int.
Shrira is accredited with having coined the phrase "promise" when referring to the completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation and its resulting value for the JavaScript programming language [2] Shrira received her PhD from Technion. [1] She is affiliated with the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) added the promise construct to simplify asynchronous logic. Browsers have since implemented the alternative fetch() interface to achieve the same functionality as XHR using promises instead of callbacks. Fetch is also standardized by WHATWG. [21]
The map operator will then multiply each number by two and return an observable. The reduce operator will then sum up all the numbers provided to it (the value of 0 is the starting point). Calling subscribe will register an observer that will observe the values from the observable produced by the chain of operators. With the subscribe method ...

Its features include the Object.values, Object.entries and Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors functions for easy manipulation of Objects, async / await constructions that use generators and promises, and additional features for concurrency and atomics.
Variables in standard JavaScript have no type attached, so any value (each value has a type) can be stored in any variable. Starting with ES6 , the 6th version of the language, variables could be declared with var for function scoped variables, and let or const which are for block level variables.
