    You're looking at it **before** the callback function has executed. – Quentin May 20 '20 at 13:18

    `fetch()` is an `async` function that returns a `Promise`. `.then` is executed when the `Promise` is resolved. You are trying to log the new value before the `Promise` is resolved and the new value is set – naveen May 20 '20 at 13:23
