Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 10,048 PointsIf window.setTimeout is used in place of the function name exec, how does it know to call the exec function?
How does the following know to call exec() if window.setTimeout is used in place of the function name?
window.setTimeout((something) => {
console.log(something);
}, 3000, 'Hi, there after 3 sec timeout');
