What this snippet does
An async function always returns a Promise — await unwraps it, making async code look and read like synchronous code.
Expected output
42 true
Why practise typing this
Typing async/await code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation JavaScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
