I am trying to print a string after some delay in my sample program. The problem I am facing is, I am getting the first string immediately without delay and second string after the delay. What I am doing wrong? Please correct me. Here is my code:

import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("after method")
root.geometry("100x100")

def displayint():
    print("hello world")

def display():
    root.after(5000,displayint())
    root.after(10000,displayint())

button = tk.Button(root,text='press',command = display)
button.pack()

root.mainloop()

Remove the parenthesis following the call to displayint in the function display:

def display():
    root.after(5000,displayint)
    root.after(10000,displayint)

You should remove parentheses from displayint():

root.after(5000, displayint)
root.after(10000, displayint)
