i cant pass a parameter to a function using javascript

Question

i am trying to add a set time out function like this and it does not work

setTimeout(myfunction(parameter),200)

meanwhile the code below work but it does not get the job done cause i cant pass a parameter.can anyone explain why ?

setTimeout(myfunction,200)

`myfunction(parameter)` calls the function immediately and passes whatever it returns as callback to `setTimeout`… — deceze, Apr 16 '20 at 19:24

Try

setTimeout(function() {
    myfunction(parameter);
}, 200)

You can also use

setTimeout(myfunction.bind(null, parameter), 200);
