Sync execution

Synchronous lines run immediately, top to bottom.

Short answer

The key output order is A -> B -> C. Nothing is queued here. JavaScript keeps the current call stack until it finishes.

Real-world bug this helps solve

Console output or cleanup runs in an order that does not match the source code order. Most setup code, imports, and simple calculations behave this way.

Common wrong assumption

Looking for async behavior where there is none.

Fix direction

Make ordering explicit instead of relying on when a queued callback might happen to run.

Fixed code pattern
Promise.resolve().then(handleMicrotask);
setTimeout(handleTimer, 0);
// Assert/expect the microtask before the timer.
Visual proof

The console lane proves the visible order: A -> B -> C. The active line and queues show why source order changed.

How to verify in a real app

Add temporary logs around the sync line, promise callback, and timer, then confirm the order without adding arbitrary delays.
