Is calling setTimeout with a negative delay ok?

Question

The following snippet sets a timeout that I\'d like to last at least a second:

var currentTimeMillis = new Date().getTime();
// do stuff...
var sleepTime = 1000          


        

Answer 1

You could also use a conditional statement, like so:

if (sleepTime < 0) {
  sleepTime = 0;
}
setTimeout(callback, sleepTime);
