delay some code

[dale con]

hi all

can someone tell me the best way to wait, say 5 seconds before the next line of code executes

e.g.

system.out.println("first line of code");

wait 5 seconds and run next line of code

system.out.println("second line of code after waiting 5 seconds");


thanks

This is a fairly fundamental concept in Java, something everyone is expected to know well about. You may want to spend some time reading about Threading. If you are a beginner just getting into Java, you will encounter this chapter eventually in your course.

All the best.
