- Real-time communication in which each party receives (and if necessary, processes and replies to) messages instantly (or as near to instantly as possible). A human example is the telephone—during a telephone call one tends to respond to another person immediately. Many programming commands are also synchronous—for example, when one types in a calculation, the environment will return the result instantly, unless programmed not to. ← MDN Web Docs
