You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Write a program that does the following in this order:
- Input an amount of time to sleep in whatever units are most natural for your language (milliseconds, seconds, ticks, etc.). This unit should be noted in comments or in a description.
- Print "Sleeping..."
- Sleep the main thread for the given amount of time.
- Print "Awake!"
- End.
Ada
The Ada delay statement takes an argument of type Duration, which is a real number counting the number of seconds to delay. Thus, 2.0 will delay 2.0 seconds, while 0.001 will delay 0.001 seconds.
with Ada.Text_Io; use Ada.Text_Io; with Ada.Float_Text_Io; use Ada.Float_Text_Io; procedure Sleep is In_Val : Float; begin Get(In_Val); Put_Line("Sleeping..."); delay Duration(In_Val); Put_Line("Awake!"); end Sleep;
BASIC
INPUT sec 'the SLEEP command takes seconds PRINT "Sleeping..." SLEEP sec PRINT "Awake!"
"SLEEP" with no argument will sleep until a button is pressed on the keyboard (including modifier keys such as shift or control). Also, pressing a key while SLEEP is waiting for a specific amount of time (as above) will end the SLEEP.
Java
import java.util.Scanner; public class Sleep{ public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException{ Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int ms = input.nextInt(); //Java's sleep method accepts milliseconds System.out.println("Sleeping..."); Thread.sleep(ms); System.out.println("Awake!"); } }
Toka
This makes use of the sleep() function from libc which suspends execution for a specified number of seconds.
