  1. callback

    A callback is a function or piece of executable code that is passed as an argument to other code. It is expected to be called (executed) at a given point in the other code's execution, typically when a particular event or condition occurs. This concept is widely used in programming, particularly in event-driven or asynchronous programming, and it allows for greater flexibility and control over how and when certain pieces of code are executed.

  1. Callback

    In computer programming, a callback is a piece of executable code that is passed as an argument to other code, which is expected to call back the argument at some convenient time. The invocation may be immediate as in a synchronous callback or it might happen at later time, as in an asynchronous callback. The ways that callbacks are supported in programming languages differ, but they are often implemented with subroutines, lambda expressions, blocks, or function pointers.
