I've looked everywhere and can't find a solution. I'm using the console part of developer tools on chrome if that helps :)

I've tried various configurations such as the example below, and all give me an error

setTimeout(s)5

    Create a promise that sets timeout and await it – Ahmed I. Elsayed Apr 02 '20 at 22:18

    This is likely not working because A) You haven't declared `s` as a function, or B) because you typed it exactly as shown above (the code's malformed) instead of `(s)5` you should try `(s, 5000)` (JS handles time in milliseconds, not seconds)... If that doesn't suit your needs, then see my answer below... – 255.tar.xz Apr 02 '20 at 22:25

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but I think you need to pass a function and the length of timeout into the setTimeout method like this example 

setTimeout(function(){ alert("Hello"); }, 3000);
