delay

A function that waits for the given amount of time before proceeding to the next operation.

When using setTimeout to define an action after a specific time, if there is a Promise after the function that should execute at that time, setTimeout belongs to the macroTaskQueue and the Promise belongs to the microTaskQueue, which may not guarantee sequential execution as intended.

Using the delay function can solve this problem.

By passing a function as the second argument, you can call that function after the given time.
