Delay code in JAVA

Question

I'd like to know if there is a way to delay code execution in java. If there is, kindly post a reply and please note that I'm not referring to java android here

Similar to system c where i can write something like:

delay_ms(1000);

to delay the code from execution for a minute

Answer 1

You can use:

Thread.sleep(1000);

This causes the current Thread to sleep for 1000 milliseconds.

Answer 2

Quoting https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/concurrency/sleep.html

Thread.sleep causes the current thread to suspend execution for a specified period. This is an efficient means of making processor time available to the other threads of an application or other applications that might be running on a computer system.

Answer 3

You can use Thread.sleep(1000) here.
