Try this code: for (var i=0;i<=5;i++) { /*Empty*/ } console.log(i) What's the output of above code and why? About your original question: setTimeout waits for the current calculations to finish and then calls the callback(after waiting x seconds, where x is the other argumen passed). When those functions run, the loop have finished already and they search for a variable called i. They do find it, and its value is the one that results at the end of the loop. If you ran the code I gave you at the beginning you will understand.
