I had a lab and I wrote they are asynchronous, so the clock input matters, but I am starting to doubt if I did it properly :confused:...what is the effect for both suppose to be simultaneously or independently?

Thanks.

correct me if I am wrong, but I think synchronous = reset is synced with clock, meaning it will restart on a positive or negative clock edge(depending on the flipflop). Asynchronous means the reset will be forced, regardless of where the clock is at the given moment.
