<delay>

The <delay> element is used to pause the execution of the program for a specified duration.

Attributes

• duration (int, optional): The duration in milliseconds for which the program should be paused.

Children

If the duration attribute has been provided, it does not accept any children. The program will pause for the specified duration.

If the duration attribute has not been provided, it must have a single child, which is evaluated and converted to an int. This value is used as the duration for which the program should be paused.

    <print>Waiting for 1 second...</print>
    <delay duration="1000" />
    <print>Waiting for 2 seconds...</print>

        <mul>
            <int>2</int>
            <int>1000</int>
        </mul>
