javascript callback
/*
A callback function is a function passed into another function
as an argument, which is then invoked inside the outer function
to complete some kind of routine or action.
*/
function greeting(name) {
alert('Hello ' + name);
}
function processUserInput(callback) {
var name = prompt('Please enter your name.');
callback(name);
}
processUserInput(greeting);
// The above example is a synchronous callback, as it is executed immediately.
