Fix a lost this binding

Repair a method callback so it logs the correct object value instead of losing context.

Update the code so the `showName` callback still logs `Surya` when passed to `setTimeout`. You can use `bind`, a wrapper function, or another correct approach.

Challenge Brief

Solve the exercise by editing the starter code and running it in the panel. Compare your result against the expected outcome, then refine your solution until the behavior matches.

  1. 1. Read the prompt carefully and identify the missing behavior.
  2. 2. Update only the parts of the starter code needed to solve it.
  3. 3. Run the code and compare actual output with the expected result.

Hints

  • The callback loses its object context when passed directly.
  • Use `bind` or wrap the method call in another function.
  • The final output should still come from `showName`.
