Python 3 - time sleep() Method
Description
The method sleep() suspends execution for the given number of seconds. The argument may be a floating point number to indicate a more precise sleep time.
The actual suspension time may be less than that requested because any caught signal will terminate the sleep() following execution of that signal's catching routine.
Syntax
Following is the syntax for sleep() method −
time.sleep(t)
Parameters
t − This is the number of seconds execution to be suspended.
Return Value
This method does not return any value.
Example
The following example shows the usage of sleep() method.
#!/usr/bin/python3
import time
print ("Start : %s" % time.ctime())
time.sleep( 5 )
print ("End : %s" % time.ctime())
Result
When we run the above program, it produces the following result −
Start : Mon Feb 15 12:08:42 2016 End : Mon Feb 15 12:08:47 2016
