Is it actually possible to delay actions in java ?

Question

Can we delay actions in java, for exemple when we run the code :
"a" Prints instanlly, then
"b" Prints after 1000ms
so we see "b" 1 second after "a" ?

Answer 1

You can, but not on Code Playground, as it does not provide a live console.

Answer 2

Yes , it is possible to do such using Java. But I'm afraid you can't do it using the Code Playground environment provided here.

However to implement such , you will use the Thread.sleep(1000) method .

This will cause a delay of 1 sec.

A snippet of this is given below:

try{

System.out.println("a");

Thread.sleep(1000);

System.out.println("b");

}catch(Exception e){

}

I hope it helps.
