Sleep in JavaScript

Sleep in JavaScript

Given a positive integer millis, write an asyncronous function that sleeps for millis milliseconds. It can resolve any value.

Example 1:

Input: millis = 100
Output: 100
Explanation: It should return a promise that resolves after 100ms.
let t = Date.now();
sleep(100).then(() => {
  console.log(Date.now() - t); // 100
});

Example 2:

Input: millis = 200
Output: 200
Explanation: It should return a promise that resolves after 200ms.
/**
 * @param {number} millis
 */
async function sleep(millis) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve();
    }, millis);
  });
}

let t = Date.now();
sleep(100).then(() => console.log(Date.now() - t)); // Output: 100
