Hi, could you please help explain "const wait '= time =>' new Promise" especially the statements enclosed in single quote and how they related to the whole line of code ..

Thanks..

const wait = function(time) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve) {
	setTimeout(resolve, time)
    })
}

wait(3000)
.then(function() {
	console.log('Hello!');
});
