Method to suspend operation

Question

I need to a function in python to execute my code but after a specific amount of time, how can I do it?

Answer 1

There is an easier method:

import time

def printer():
print("hi there!")

time.sleep(5) # sleeps for 5 seconds

printer()

Output:

# five second wait

hi there!

Answer 2

from threading import Timer

def hello():
print ("hello")

t = Timer(5.0, hello)
t.start()

Though you'll most likely get "Time exceeded" in SoloLearn sandbox.
