A "node" can refer to different things depending on the context. Here are some common uses of the term:
1. Computer Networks: In networking, a node is a device or point of connection in a network. This can include devices like routers, switches, or any device connected to the network, such as a computer or a smartphone.
2. Data Structures: In computer science, a node is a basic unit used in data structures like linked lists, trees, and graphs. Each node contains data and possibly links to other nodes.
3. Blockchain: In blockchain technology, a node is a computer that participates in the network by maintaining a copy of the blockchain and validating transactions.
4. JavaScript/Node.js: Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside a web browser. Here, "Node" often refers to Node.js itself.
5. Biology: In biology, a node can refer to a point on a stem where leaves or branches originate.
6. Electrical Engineering: In circuit theory, a node is a point at which two or more circuit elements are connected.

Hey, @justyy,
It takes very long to receive a reply and how come the answers given through your comment differ from the ones I receive from Grok if I ask on X?
