Explanation:
The Event listenTo() method will inform one object to listen to another object’s event. When an event occurs, it provides a callback function. Here, the object Y listens for the ‘func’ event triggered on the object X. The X has no ‘func’ event and thus displays the value of Y. The Event stopListening() method will stop listening to another object’s event, and thus the object Y will stop listening to the specific event on the object X.
