Javascript is executed sequentially. JavaScript is a single-threaded language, and the execution order is top-down. That is to say, during the execution of the code, if another piece of code wants to be executed, it must wait for the execution of the current code to complete.

Is javascript executed sequentially?

The operating environment of this tutorial: windows7 system, javascript version 1.8.5, Dell G3 computer.

JavaScript’s sequential execution execution mechanism

1. Single-threaded JavaScript

Everyone You know, JavaScript is a single-threaded language, and the order of execution is top-down. JavaScript does not have the concept of multi-threading, and all programs are executed sequentially by a single thread. That is, while the code is being executed, if another piece of code wants to be executed, it must wait until the execution of the current code is completed.

Note that JavaScript only runs on one thread, which does not mean that the JavaScript engine has only one thread. In fact, the JavaScript engine has multiple threads. A single script can only run on one thread (called the main thread). The other threads cooperate in the background.

So why is js single-threaded? What about threads instead of multi-threads? Isn't multi-threading more efficient?

The reason why JavaScript is single-threaded instead of multi-threaded is related to its purpose. As a web scripting language, the main purpose of JavaScript is to interact with users and operate the DOM.

If JavaScript has two threads at the same time, one thread adds content to the DOM node of the web page, and the other thread deletes the node, which thread should the browser use? Is there also a locking mechanism?

JavaScript has been single-threaded since its birth. The reason is that we don’t want the browser to become too complicated, because multi-threads need to share resources and may modify each other’s running results. For a web script language, This is too complicated.

So, in order to avoid complexity, JavaScript was single-threaded from the beginning. This has become a core feature of the language and will not change in the future.

The advantage of this mode is that it is relatively simple to implement and the execution environment is relatively simple; the disadvantage is that as long as one task takes a long time, subsequent tasks must be queued up, which will delay the entire program. implement.

Common browser unresponsiveness (suspended death) is often caused by a certain piece of JavaScript code running for a long time (such as an infinite loop), causing the entire page to get stuck in this place and other tasks cannot be performed.

The JavaScript language itself is not slow. What is slow is reading and writing external data, such as waiting for Ajax requests to return results. At this time, if the other party's server does not respond for a long time, or the network is not smooth, it will cause the script to stagnate for a long time.

If the queue is due to a large amount of calculation and the CPU is too busy, forget it, but often the CPU is idle because the IO operations (input and output) are very slow (such as Ajax operations reading from the network) data) and have to wait for the results to come out before proceeding.

The designers of the JavaScript language realized that at this time, the CPU can completely ignore the IO operation, suspend the waiting tasks, and run the later tasks first. Wait until the IO operation returns the result, then go back and continue executing the suspended task. This mechanism is the "event loop" mechanism (Event Loop) used internally in JavaScript.

Although the single-threaded model imposes great restrictions on JavaScript, it also gives it advantages that other languages ​​do not have. If used well, JavaScript programs will not be clogged, which is why Node can handle large traffic access with very few resources.

In order to take advantage of the computing power of multi-core CPUs, HTML5 proposes the Web Worker standard, which allows JavaScript scripts to create multiple threads, but the child threads are completely controlled by the main thread and must not operate the DOM. Therefore, this new standard does not change the single-threaded nature of JavaScript.

Now let’s look at a piece of code

function fn(){
    console.log('start');
    setTimeout(()=>{
        console.log('setTimeout');
    },0);
    console.log('end');
}

fn() // 输出 start end setTimeout

Since the execution order of JavaScript is top-down, why is the execution order of the above code disrupted?

BecauseJavaScript has two execution modes: synchronous and asynchronous

2. JavaScript synchronization and asynchronous

All tasks in the program can be divided into two categories: Synchronous tasks (synchronous) and Asynchronous tasks (asynchronous).
What are synchronous and asynchronous? How are synchronization and asynchronousness implemented?

Synchronization tasks: These are tasks that are not suspended by the engine and are queued for execution on the main thread. The next task can only be executed after the previous task has been executed.

异步任务: 是那些被引擎放在一边,不进入主线程、而进入 任务队列 的任务。只有引擎认为某个异步任务可以执行了(比如 Ajax 操作从服务器得到了结果),该任务(采用回调函数的形式)才会进入主线程执行。(通俗讲就是 只有"任务队列"通知主线程,某个异步任务可以执行了,该任务才会进入主线程执行。)

排在异步任务后面的代码,不用等待异步任务结束会马上运行,也就是说,异步任务不具有“堵塞”效应。

举例来说,Ajax 操作可以当作同步任务处理,也可以当作异步任务处理,由开发者决定。如果是同步任务,主线程就等着 Ajax 操作返回结果,再往下执行;如果是异步任务,主线程在发出 Ajax 请求以后,就直接往下执行,等到 Ajax 操作有了结果,主线程再执行对应的回调函数。

js中包含诸多创建异步的函数如:
seTimeout,setInterval,dom事件,ajax,Promise,process.nextTick等函数

3.任务队列和事件循环

JavaScript 运行时,除了一个正在运行的主线程,引擎还提供一个任务队列(task queue),里面是各种需要当前程序处理的异步任务。(实际上,根据异步任务的类型,存在多个任务队列。为了方便理解,这里假设只存在一个队列。)

首先,主线程会去执行所有的同步任务。等到同步任务全部执行完,就会去看任务队列里面的异步任务。
如果满足条件,那么异步任务就重新进入主线程开始执行,这时它就变成同步任务了。等到执行完,下一个异步任务再进入主线程开始执行。一旦任务队列清空,程序就结束执行。

异步任务的写法通常是回调函数。一旦异步任务重新进入主线程,就会执行对应的回调函数。如果一个异步任务没有回调函数,就不会进入任务队列,也就是说,不会重新进入主线程,因为没有用回调函数指定下一步的操作。

Is javascript executed sequentially?

  • 因为单线程,所以代码自上而下执行,所有代码被放到执行栈中执行;

  • 遇到异步函数将回调函数添加到一个任务队列里面;

  • 执行栈中的代码执行完以后,会去循环任务队列里的函数;

  • 任务队列里的函数放到执行栈中执行;

  • 如此往复,称为事件循环;

JavaScript 引擎怎么知道异步任务有没有结果,能不能进入主线程呢?答案就是引擎在不停地检查,一遍又一遍,只要同步任务执行完了,引擎就会去检查那些挂起来的异步任务,是不是可以进入主线程了。这种循环检查的机制,就叫做事件循环。
这样分析,上面那一段代码就得到了合理的解释。
再来看一下这段代码:

function fn() {
    setTimeout(()=>{
        console.log('a');
    },0);
    new Promise((resolve)=>{
        console.log('b');
        resolve();
    }).then(()=>{
        console.log('c')
    });
}
fn() // b c a

4.Promise和async 立即执行

Promise中的异步体现在then和catch中,所以写在Promise中的代码是被当做同步任务立即执行的。
而在async/await中,在出现await出现之前,其中的代码也是立即执行的。那么出现了await时候发生了什么呢?

await等到之后做了什么?

很多人以为await会一直等待之后的表达式执行完之后才会继续执行后面的代码,实际上await是一个让出线程的标志。await后面的表达式会先执行一遍,将await后面的代码加入到微任务(microtask)中,然后就会跳出整个async函数来执行后面的代码。

不管await后面的代码是同步还是异步,await总是需要时间,从右向左执行,先执行右侧的代码,执行完后,发现有await关键字,于是让出线程,阻塞代码。

由于因为async await 本身就是promise+generator的语法糖。所以await后面的代码是microtask。
例如:

async function async1() {
    console.log('async1 start');
    await async2();
    console.log('async1 end');
}

等同于

async function async1() {
    console.log('async1 start');
    Promise.resolve(async2()).then(() => {
                console.log('async1 end');
        })
}

5.宏任务和微任务

两个任务分别处于任务队列中的宏队列 和 微队列中;
宏任务队列微任务队列组成了任务队列;
任务队列将任务放入执行栈中执行

宏任务

宏队列,macrotask,也叫tasks。
异步任务的回调会依次进入macro task queue,等待后续被调用。

宏任务一般包括:

  1. 整体代码script
  2. setTimeout
  3. setInterval
  4. setImmediate (Node独有)
  5. requestAnimationFrame (浏览器独有)
  6. I/O
  7. UI rendering (浏览器独有)

微任务

微队列,microtask,也叫jobs。
异步任务的回调会依次进入micro task queue,等待后续被调用

微任务一般包括:

  • process.nextTick (Node独有)

  • Promise

  • Object.observe

  • MutationObserver



Is javascript executed sequentially?

1.执行全局Script同步代码,这些同步代码有一些是同步语句,有一些是异步语句(比如setTimeout等)。
2.全局Script代码执行完毕后,执行栈Stack会清空。
3.先从微任务队列中取出位于队首的回调任务,放入执行栈Stack中执行,执行完后微队列长度减1。
4.继续循环取出位于微队列的任务,放入执行栈Stack中执行,以此类推,直到直到把微任务执行完毕。注意,如果在执行微任务的过程中,又产生了微任务,那么会加入到微队列的末尾,也会在这个周期被调用执行。
5.微队列中的所有微任务都执行完毕,此时微队列为空队列,执行栈Stack也为空。
6.取出宏队列中的任务,放入执行栈Stack中执行。
7.执行完毕后,执行栈Stack为空。
8.重复第3-7个步骤。

以上是完成的****事件循环

6.面试题测试

现在我们再来分析一下最开始的那个面试题

async function async1() {
    console.log('async1 start');
    await async2();
    console.log('async1 end');
}
async function async2() {
    console.log('async2');
}

console.log('script start');

setTimeout(function() {
    console.log('setTimeout');
}, 0)

async1();

new Promise(function(resolve) {
    console.log('promise1');
    resolve();
}).then(function() {
    console.log('promise2');
});
console.log('script end');


/*
script start
async1 start
async2
promise1
script end
async1 end
promise2
setTimeout
*/

我们分析一下整个过程:

1.首先,事件循环从宏任务(macrotask)队列开始,这个时候,宏任务队列中,只有一个script(整体代码)任务;当遇到任务源(task source)时,则会先分发任务到对应的任务队列中去。

2.然后我们看到首先定义了两个async函数,接着往下看,然后遇到了 console 语句,直接输出 script start。输出之后,script 任务继续往下执行,遇到 setTimeout,其作为一个宏任务源,则会先将其任务分发到对应的队列中。

3.script 任务继续往下执行,执行了async1()函数,前面讲过async函数中在await之前的代码是立即执行的,所以会立即输出async1 start。
遇到了await时,会将await后面的表达式执行一遍,所以就紧接着输出async2,然后将await后面的代码也就是console.log(‘async1 end’)加入到microtask中的Promise队列中,接着跳出async1函数来执行后面的代码。

4.script任务继续往下执行,遇到Promise实例。由于Promise中的函数是立即执行的,而后续的 .then 则会被分发到 microtask 的 Promise 队列中去。所以会先输出 promise1,然后执行 resolve,将 promise2 分配到对应队列。

5.script任务继续往下执行,最后只有一句输出了 script end,至此,全局任务就执行完毕了。
根据上述,每次执行完一个宏任务之后,会去检查是否存在 Microtasks;如果有,则执行 Microtasks 直至清空 Microtask Queue。
因而在script任务执行完毕之后,开始查找清空微任务队列。此时,微任务中, Promise 队列有的两个任务async1 end和promise2,因此按先后顺序输出 async1 end,promise2。当所有的 Microtasks 执行完毕之后,表示第一轮的循环就结束了。

6.第二轮循环依旧从宏任务队列开始。此时宏任务中只有一个 setTimeout,取出直接输出即可,至此整个流程结束。

再来一个稍微复杂点的代码

function fn(){
    console.log(1);
    
    setTimeout(() => {
        console.log(2);
        Promise.resolve().then(() => {
            console.log(3);
        });
    },0);
    
    new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        console.log(4);
        resolve(5);
    }).then(data => {
        console.log(data);
    });
    
    setTimeout(() => {
        console.log(6);
    },0);
    
    console.log(7);
}
fn(); //

流程重现

1.执行函数同步语句

  • step1
console.log(1);

执行栈: [ console ]

总结

1、代码的检查装载阶段(预编译阶段),此阶段进行变量和函数的声明,但是不对变量进行赋值, 变量的默认值为undefined。
2、代码的执行阶段,此阶段对变量进行赋值和函数的声明。 所以:Js的变量提升和函数提升会影响JS的执行结果,ES6中的let定义的变量不会提升。
3、js的执行顺序,先同步后异步。
4、异步中任务队列的执行顺序: 先微任务microtask队列,再宏任务macrotask队列。
5、调用Promise 中的resolve,reject属于微任务队列,setTimeout等属于宏任务队列 所以:
【同步>异步;微任务>宏任务】
