/*
The function passed to Promise is called "executor". When Promise gets
created, the executor gets executed.
When the Promise ends, it should either call the "resolve" or "reject"
callbacks:
resolve(value) — if the job is finished successfully, with result value.
reject(error) — if an error has occurred, error is the error object.
Remember that Promises are not intrensically asyncronous

The first argument of .then is a function that runs when the promise is resolved and receives the result.
The second argument of .then is a function that runs when the promise is rejected and receives the error.
