Thread sleep

The sleep( ) method causes the thread to suspend execution for the specified period of milliseconds. Its general form is shown here:

static void sleep(long milliseconds) throws InterruptedException

The number of milliseconds to suspend is specified in milliseconds. This method may throw an InterruptedException.

The sleep( ) method has a second form, shown next, which allows you to specify the period in terms of milliseconds and nanoseconds:

static void sleep(long milliseconds, int nanoseconds) throws InterruptedException

Thread.sleep(1000); // Delay for 1 second
