**`Promise.race`** takes a list of promises as an argument and returns a promise as soon as one of the promises from the list is resolved or rejected.

console

In the above code, we sent 2 promises to the `Promise.race` method. The first method will execute after 100ms, and the second method will execute after 50ms. In this case, as soon as the second promise is resolved, `Promise.race` will return the second promise.

---

Let's consider that we have two promises, and one will be rejected and one will be resolved. Consider that the promise which rejects will be done first. In this case, the rejected promise will be returned from `Promise.race`.

---

If we send an already resolved promise in the list of promises, then the first values will be returned.
 

let promise1 = new Promise( (resolve, reject) => {
  setTimeout(resolve, 100, 'Resolved Promise');
});

let promise2 = Promise.resolve("Already resolved Promise");

console.log("Calling Promise.race with Already solved Promise in the Promise list");

Promise.race([promise1, promise2])
        .then((value) => {
          console.log(value);   // Already resolved Proomise --> because it is the first resolved in the list of promise
        })

---

If we pass a value to the promise list, then that will be returned.

let promise = Promise.resolve("Already resolved Promise");

console.log("Calling Promise.race with value");

Promise.race([10, "20", promise])
        .then((value) => {
          console.log(value);   // 10 because that is a considered as resolved 
        })

# `Promise.any` vs. `Promise.race`

`Promise.any` will return the first fulfilled promise, whereas `Promise.race` will return the first #key# settled: first resolved or ejected #key# promise.

In the above code, when we call `Promise.any`, although  `promise2` rejects first, `promise1` will be returned because `Promise.any` will return the first fulfilled promise. When we call `Promise.race`, `promise2` will be returned because `Promise.race` will return the first settled promise.
