Java Language Concurrent Programming (Threads) Pausing Execution
Example
Thread.sleep causes the current thread to suspend execution for a specified period. This is an efficient means of making processor time available to the other threads of an application or other applications that might be running on a computer system. There are two overloaded sleep methods in the Thread class.
One that specifies the sleep time to the millisecond
public static void sleep(long millis) throws InterruptedException
One that specifies the sleep time to the nanosecond
public static void sleep(long millis, int nanos)
Pausing Execution for 1 second
Thread.sleep(1000);
It is important to note that this is a hint to the operating system's kernel's scheduler. This may not necessarily be precise, and some implementations do not even consider the nanosecond parameter (possibly rounding to the nearest millisecond).
It is recommended to enclose a call to Thread.sleep in try/catch and catch InterruptedException.
