I'm new in this thing and I don't understand why is happening. According to internet setTimeout function is supposed to run my code after the milliseconds that I choose, and it works, but why when I put it inside a for loop it just wait for once? How can I solve it? tnks

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    setTimeout(function(){
        console.log(i);
    },1000)
}

    because setTimeout method is asynchrone. – Mister Jojo Oct 15 '22 at 23:50

    "_when I put it inside a for loop it just wait for once_" - It waits for all three. You schedule three timeouts, all of which run after one second. But the scheduling happens simultaneously. – Ivar Oct 15 '22 at 23:56
