JS - assignement and setTimeout

Question

I''ve a main file, where I wrote
let my_var = my_function(my_param);

my_function is a require from another file (its working)
however, in this function, there is a setTimeout and the return is in this one.
so when I log my_var, its "undefined"

How can I do ? I really must use the setTimeout, I cannot do without

Maybe "var" instead of "let", or something like "var my_var = return my_function(my_param);"?

Answer 3

Answer 9

set timeout are running asynchronously, that means it the program doesnt wait for it to finish before continuing

you can change your waiting method with sleep
or
turn the function into promise
