Budoucnost

In computer science, „budoucnost“ translates to „future“ in English. The term is often used in the context of programming and software design to refer to the concept of futures or future values. A future is an abstraction that represents a value that may not yet be available but will be computed or retrieved asynchronously. It is typically used in concurrent programming to handle asynchronous operations, where a task may complete at a later time, allowing other tasks to continue running without blocking.

Futures provide a way to manage and coordinate execution, enabling developers to write non-blocking code and efficiently handle operations such as network calls, file I/O, or any other time-consuming processes. They often come with methods to check if the operation is complete, retrieve the resulting value once it is available, or handle potential errors that may arise during execution.

Overall, futures are a foundational concept in concurrent programming, allowing for more responsive and efficient applications by promoting asynchronous task management.
