//first we define our new function as async and give it a name of f, with no arguments... or data between ()
async function f() {
    //we make some data that will run normally
    let result = 'first!';
    //we make a new promise that takes 2 arguments, resolve, reject
    let promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        //we set a timeout so that out promise takes 1 second before it is finished
        //when it is done, we resolve it with the messsage done!
      setTimeout(() => resolve('done!'), 1000);
    });
    //we tell result to WAIT for promise to complete before we run result
    result = await promise;
    //QUESTION what will print first? first! or done!??
    console.log(result);
  }

  //TO RUN THE CODE
  //uncomment the line below
  //f()
