Invokes the provided function after `ms` milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
- Use `time.sleep()` to delay the execution of `fn` by `ms / 1000` seconds.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from time import sleep
|
|
|
|
def delay(fn, ms, *args):
|
|
sleep(ms / 1000)
|
|
return fn(*args)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
delay(
|
|
lambda x: print(x),
|
|
1000,
|
|
'later'
|
|
) # prints 'later' after one second
|
|
```
