is that you can wait for the result of a
previous function call and then execute
another function call.

Here, the greet() function is called after


2000 milliseconds (2 seconds). During
this wait, the sayName('Christo'); is
executed. That is why Hello Christo is
printed before Hello world.
The above code is executed
asynchronously (the second function;
sayName() does not wait for the first
function; greet() to complete).
