The question is asking how to implement sleep() in JavaScript, right?
function sleep(ms) {
var start = new Date().getTime(), expire = start + ms;
while (new Date().getTime() < expire) { }
return;
}
I just tested it like so:
console.log('hello');
sleep(5000);
console.log('world');
Works for me.
(As a meta comment: I landed here because I have a particular need for this function. Such needs do come up when you need to block while waiting for a value. Even in JavaScript.)
