How to create a loop that runs every X seconds?

Question

In Javascript && || Python

Answer 1

import time

print("Printed immediately.")

while True:
time.sleep(2.4)
print("Printed after 2.4 seconds.")

This will run forever.

Answer 2

doing things asynchroniously in python is far to obvious ^^

in javascript, that's easiest to implement, using setTimeout, setInterval, or eventually requestAnimationFrame:

Answer 3

Jerry Hobby solution is right, but run synchroniously... it means that you cannot do anything else while delay...

Answer 4

using requestAnimationFrame should be more accurate, but requires to use its timestamp argument to know if delay is expired or not (and accordingly run or not your body loop)
