The problems with calling Thread.Sleep are explained quite succinctly here: Thread.Sleep has its use: simulating lengthy operations while testing/debugging on an MTA thread. In .NET there’s no other reason to use it. Thread.Sleep(n) means block the current thread for at least the number of timeslices (or thread quantums) that can occur within n milliseconds. The … Read more
You can use setTimeout to achieve a similar effect: var a = 1 + 3; var b; setTimeout(function() { b = a + 4; }, (3 * 1000)); This doesn’t really ‘sleep’ JavaScript—it just executes the function passed to setTimeout after a certain duration (specified in milliseconds). Although it is possible to write a sleep … Read more
Yes – older POSIX standards defined usleep(), so this is available on Linux: int usleep(useconds_t usec); DESCRIPTION The usleep() function suspends execution of the calling thread for (at least) usec microseconds. The sleep may be lengthened slightly by any system activity or by the time spent processing the call or by the granularity of system … Read more
You need to re-factor the code into pieces. This doesn’t stop execution, it just puts a delay in between the parts. function partA() { … window.setTimeout(partB,1000); } function partB() { … }
It seems fine to me (or raw_input() in Python 2.X). Alternatively, you could use time.sleep() if you want to pause for a certain number of seconds. import time print(“something”) time.sleep(5.5) # Pause 5.5 seconds print(“something”)
sleep infinity does exactly what it suggests and works without cat abuse.
You have to wait for TypeScript 2.0 with async/await for ES5 support as it now supported only for TS to ES6 compilation. You would be able to create delay function with async: function delay(ms: number) { return new Promise( resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms) ); } And call it await delay(1000); BTW, you can await on … Read more
You have a lot of reading ahead of you. From compiler errors through exception handling, threading and thread interruptions. But this will do what you want: try { Thread.sleep(1000); //1000 milliseconds is one second. } catch(InterruptedException ex) { Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); }
wait waits for a process to finish; sleep sleeps for a certain amount of seconds.
JS does not have a sleep function, it has setTimeout() or setInterval() functions. If you can move the code that you need to run after the pause into the setTimeout() callback, you can do something like this: //code before the pause setTimeout(function(){ //do what you need here }, 2000); see example here : http://jsfiddle.net/9LZQp/ This … Read more
