What is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous programming in Node.js?

Synchronous code executes one operation at a time and blocks further execution until the current task completes. Asynchronous code allows other operations to continue while waiting for long-running tasks such as database queries, file operations, or API requests. Node.js heavily relies on asynchronous programming to improve performance and scalability.
