in the end we get value of x equal 3. Why it’s not 2?

let x = 1; setTimeout( () => { x = 2; }, 1000); x = 3;

The code will run like these steps: 1- x = 1 2- you set a 1000ms or 1 second timeout 3- x = 3 4- console.log(x) for showing x value And after 1 second: 5- x = 2 setTimeout is an asynchronous function in JavaScript, so it will not stop the other statements below it to run! If you want to get 2 back, you need to call console.log(x) like this in your code -> setTimeout(() => { x = 2; console.log(x); }, 1000);
