Wait function in Java

Question

So I am writing a Java code to represent a heap sort and to represent the operation I need to have a waiting function which will wait between different operation but I am not sure if there is a function in Java that does that or do I need to write the function by myself and how would i do that.

Representing heap sport is a homework but writing the waiting function isn't so I appreciate your help

Answer 1

You're looking for Thread.sleep(int milliseconds)

Answer 2

Thread.sleep() is what you are looking for.

The exception it throws will likely puzzle you if you are a Java newbie. Most likely you will want to propagate it up or discard it and reset the interrupt flag using Thread.currentThread().interrupt()
