Correct way to pause a Python program
It Seems fine to me (or raw_input() in Python 2.X). Alternatively, you could use time.sleep() if you want to pause for a certain number of seconds.

How do I make a delay in Java?
If you want to pause then use java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit: To sleep for one second or To sleep for a minute. As this is a loop, this presents an inherent problem – drift. Every time you run code and then sleep you will be drifting a little bit from running, say, every second. If this is an issue … Read more
Sleep for milliseconds
Note that there is no standard C API for milliseconds, so (on Unix) you will have to settle for usleep, which accepts microseconds:
Python time.sleep() vs event.wait()
Using exit_flag.wait(timeout=DELAY) will be more responsive, because you’ll break out of the while loop instantly when exit_flag is set. With time.sleep, even after the event is set, you’re going to wait around in the time.sleep call until you’ve slept for DELAY seconds. In terms of implementation, Python 2.x and Python 3.x have very different behavior. … Read more

JavaScript sleep/wait before continuing [duplicate]
JS does not have a sleep function, it has setTimeout() or setInterval() functions. If you can move the code that you need to run after the pause into the setTimeout() callback, you can do something like this: see example here : http://jsfiddle.net/9LZQp/ This won’t halt the execution of your script, but due to the fact that setTimeout() is an asynchronous function, this code will … Read more
What is the JavaScript version of sleep()?
2017 — 2021 update Since 2009 when this question was asked, JavaScript has evolved significantly. All other answers are now obsolete or overly complicated. Here is the current best practice: Run code snippet This is it. await sleep(<duration>). Or as a one-liner: Note that, await can only be executed in functions prefixed with the async keyword, or at the … Read more
