Pause

Pause the program for a duration of the number milliseconds you say. You can use this function to slow your program down.

basic.pause(400)

Parameters

• ms: the number of milliseconds (duration) of your pause time. To convert from seconds: 100 milliseconds = 1/10 second and 1000 milliseconds = 1 second.

Example

Randomly turn on and off the LED pixels on the screen.

let duration = 500
basic.forever(function () {
    led.toggle(randint(0, 4), randint(0, 4))
    basic.pause(duration)
})

Advanced

If ms is an invalid number (NaN, not a number), the pause will default to 20 ms.
