Sleep function

[Bleb1k]

Issue:

current stack overflow sleep function uses up 100% of CPU time to do it's job

Solution:

Use setTimeout function instead

while this is a viable solution, it has unwanted side-effects

better approach can be found there

additional syntax (async/await) just means that function can wait for certain time, and is useful for loading files and/or data

Examples:

async function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

async function start() {
  console.log("Execution...");
  for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    console.log(`${i} seconds passed`);
    await sleep(1000);
  }
  console.log("End of execution");
}

console.log("Preparing the program")
sleep(1000).then(start); // you are allowed to call async functions without await
// or without sleep
// start()
