# --description--
 | 
						|
 |

A promise in JavaScript is exactly what it sounds like - you use it to make a promise to do something, usually asynchronously. When the task completes, you either fulfill your promise or fail to do so. `Promise` is a constructor function, so you need to use the `new` keyword to create one. It takes a function, as its argument, with two parameters - `resolve` and `reject`. These are methods used to determine the outcome of the promise. The syntax looks like this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# --instructions--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Create a new promise called `makeServerRequest`. Pass in a function with `resolve` and `reject` parameters to the constructor.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# --hints--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You should assign a promise to a declared variable named `makeServerRequest`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert(makeServerRequest instanceof Promise);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Your promise should receive a function with `resolve` and `reject` as parameters.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert(
 | 
						|
  code.match(
 | 
						|
    /Promise\(\s*(function\s*\(\s*resolve\s*,\s*reject\s*\)\s*{|\(\s*resolve\s*,\s*reject\s*\)\s*=>\s*{)[^}]*}/g
 | 
						|
  )
 | 
						|
);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# --solutions--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const makeServerRequest = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
```
