 JavaScript does not come with a `sleep()` function out of the box and that is probably a good idea considering the environments where it runs and the trouble such a function could cause if used incorrectly. The closest equivalent of such a function is `setTimeout`, however there are other, less common ways to implement a function that will freeze the current thread for a specified amount of time.

 Before your JavaScript code is executed, it is first parsed and compiled. During the _compile_ phase, variable and function declarations are put into memory, which is called **hoisting**.
