Unexpected async behavior: forEach doesn’t await async functions

Why doesn’t this wait, and how do I correctly handle async logic in loops?

forEach doesn’t support async/await and ignores returned promises—so the loop returns immediately ([turn0reddit26]). Fixes: • Use a for...of loop: js Copy code for (const item of items) { await process(item); } • Or use Promise.all() for parallel execution: js Copy code await Promise.all(items.map(item => process(item)));
