If you test your code, you'll notice that your console logs are not in the expected order. Instead of logging "free", pausing for a second before logging "Code", and finally logging "Camp", you'll see this:
free
Camp
Code
This is because the setTimeout() function is <dfn>asynchronous</dfn>, meaning that it doesn't stop the execution of the rest of your code. All the code in the showAnimation() function runs line by line, but because setTimeout() is asynchronous, free and Camp are logged to the console immediately, and then Code is logged to the console after a one second delay.
One way to fix this is to use multiple setTimeout() functions. Use setTimeout() to log free to the console after half a second, or 500 milliseconds.
You should add a second setTimeout() function to your showAnimation() function.
assert.lengthOf(
code.match(/setTimeout\(/g),
2
);
You should pass a callback function as the first argument to the new setTimeout() function.
assert.lengthOf(
code.match(/setTimeout\(\s*\(\s*\)\s*=>\s*\{?|setTimeout\(\s*function\s*\(\s*\)\s*\{/g),
2
);
Within the new setTimeout() function's callback, you should log the text "free" to the console.
assert.match(code, /setTimeout\(\s*\(\s*\)\s*=>\s*\{?\s*console\.log\(\s*('|"|`)\s*free\s*\1\s*\)|setTimeout\(\s*function\s*\(\s*\)\s*\{\s*console\.log\(\s*('|"|`)\s*free\s*\2\s*\)/i);
You should pass 500 as the second argument to the new setTimeout() function.
assert.match(code, /console\.log\(\s*('|"|`)\s*free\s*\1\s*\)\s*;?\s*\}?\s*,\s*500\s*\)/);
