+// Notes:
+// the following code doesnt work it only prints 5,5,5,5,5
+// Because till it waits for 1sec the value of i has become 5
+// and since each time the i is refered to the same memory the latest value is 5(because of closure).
+
+// to avoid this we can use block scope variable which has unique value
