msec

Wait for msec
milliseconds.
This function would block all the process for
msec
milliseconds, so please use it carefully. It will block the entire console.setTimeout

Returns: <number>
The current timestamp in milliseconds.
Returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC.
// Show the processing time of the function.var startTime = millis(); // store start time.for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i++)console.log ("Processing...", i * 10, "%");var endTime = millis(); //store end time.console.log ("Processing time is ", endTime - startTime, "ms.");
callback
<function>
The function which is called after timeout
milliseconds
timeout
<number>
The timeout value in milliseconds.
Returns: <number>
Timer id.
Set the timeout event which call the callback
function after delay
milliseconds.
// Show the message after 1 sec.var timerId = setTimeout(function () {print('done.');}, 1000); // 1sec timeout
callback
<function>
The function which is called at every interval
milliseconds.
interval
<number>
The time interval value in milliseconds.
Returns: <number>
Timer id.
Set the interval event which call the callback
function everyinterval
milliseconds.
// Print "tick" for every secondsvar timerId = setInterval(function () {print('tick');}, 1000); // 1sec interval// ...clearInterval(timerId); // To stop printing "tick"
id
<number>
Timer id.
Clear timeout event which is set using setTimeout()
.
// Show the message after 1 sec.var timerId = setTimeout(function () {print('done.');}, 1000); // 1sec timeout// ...clearTimeout(timerId); // clear it after the timeout event.
id
<number>
Timer id.
Clear interval event which is set using setInterval()
.
// Print "tick" for every seconds and clear it.var timerId = setInterval(function () {print('tick');}, 1000); // 1sec interval// ...clearInterval(timerId); // clear it to stop printing "tick"
