Let's say we have a promise:

const aPromise = new Promise(()=>{console.log('promise executed');}) 
Simply assigning this Promise, executes it and this shows on the console:
promise executed
And when I call the aPromise, it doesn't log on the console, and outcome of console.log(aPromise) shows that it is resolved.
My question is that how can I assign a Promise without it getting executed/resolved, so I can call it multiple times?
You can wrap it in a function like this:
const getPromise = () => new Promise((resolve,reject) => {
    console.log('Promise executed')
    resolve()
Now you can call it multiple times:
getPromise().then(() => { // do something })
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    if (val > 5) {
      resolve("resolved hello"); // fulfilled
    else {
      reject("rejected"); // rejected
let prom=returnpromise(6);// assign promise to variable prom
console.log(prom) // returns Promise { 'resolved' }
// to get the data use it many times
prom.then(a=>console.log(a));
Note: In Javascript is not used the operator "=>", the operator "=>" is used in C/C++, see more information here:

                You should absolutley not overwrite the Promise-class with a function. Also => is used in javascript since ES5.
