<script>
var callback = function(myCallback) {
setTimeout(function() {
myCallback();
}, 5000);

document.write("First is displayed");
document.write("<br>Second is displayed");
callback(function() {
document.write("This is Callback function");
});
document.write("<br>Last is displayed");
</script>
</head>
