Question

Using javascript, suppose I need to print 1 to 10 and after printing each numbers, I need a break of 2 seconds. How can I do that?

Answer 1

you can utilize the setTimeout function which takes in a function and a time (in ms) to delay that function's call. Be careful using this inside a for loop though because it may not work the way you think (re: closures. for more info: http://bonsaiden.github.com/JavaScript-Garden/#function.closures).

Answer 2

// Watch out for closures.
function printAndWait(i, limit, delay) {
//base case
if (i > limit) return;

(function(e) {
setTimeout(function() {
console.log(e);
printAndWait(i+1, limit, delay);
}, delay);
})(i);
}
// print from 0 to 10, 2000ms delay between
printAndWait(0,10,2000);
