What is the exact console output order?

```js
console.log('1');
setTimeout(() => console.log('2'), 0);
Promise.resolve().then(() => console.log('3'));
queueMicrotask(() => console.log('4'));
console.log('5');

```

Not much of a quiz tbh — it’s `1, 5, 3, 4, 2`.

`1` and `5` are straight sync logs. Then the engine drains microtasks before it touches timers, so the Promise `.then` (`3`) runs, then `queueMicrotask` (`4`), and the `setTimeout(..., 0)` (`2`) comes after that.
