Exercise 2... can I get a hint?

[ki9us]

I remember when I was learning callbacks, they totally baffled me. Now I find them so easy, it's hard to remember how hard they were. Now promises baffle me.

The second exercise gives a decent explanation of how the flow works. But the boilerplate at the bottom just isn't enough. I am completely lost. I've never written a promise before.

I think after doing this exercise, I can build on that knowledge and the rest will not be as hard. But for right now, I have to cheat and look up the answer.

Tl;dr: A hint in exercise 2 would go a long way.

OK, I see. I understood that I needed fulfill('FULFILLED'); in the promise definition, but I was trying to avoid the callback in setTimetout()!

I could have guessed that, but I could never have guessed the runtime. I tried console.log(promise). I guess I'm just not used to calling console.log() without an argument!

I get it now... gonna study this code and take it from there.

Firstly, you should use newlines. It makes it hard to read, and you missed a semicolon.

Here are some hints:

• fulfill() is only available in the promise constructor, not the then function
• Use console.log in the then function, not the promise constructor

var promise = new Promise(function (fulfill, reject) {
  setTimeout(function() {
    console.log('FULFILLED!'); // don't use console.log here
  }, 300); // Missing semicolon
})
.then(() => {
  fulfill('FULFILLED'); // don't use fulfill() here
  console.log(fulfill(setTimeout)); // or here
});

Here's another one, because promises are hard:

.then((valueFromFulfilledPromise) => {
