pause
Pause a part of the program for some number of milliseconds.
pause(400)
When code in a block comes to a ||control:pause||
, it will wait the amount of time you tell it to. Code
in blocks like ||loops:forever||
and ||control:run in parallel||
will keep running while code in some other
block is waiting at a ||control:pause||
.
Parameters
- ms: the number of milliseconds that you want to pause for. So, 100 milliseconds = 1/10 second, and 1000 milliseconds = 1 second.
Example
Write the first five natural numbers to the console but wait one-half second between each write.
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
console.logValue("naturals", i + 1)
pause(500)
}
