JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-245 with Solution

Invoke Function After Delay

Write a JavaScript program that invokes the provided function after a few milliseconds.

• Use setTimeout() to delay execution of fn.
• Use the spread (...) operator to supply the function with an arbitrary number of arguments.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 
// Define a function 'delay' to execute a function after a specified delay
const delay = (fn, wait, ...args) => setTimeout(fn, wait, ...args);

// Call the 'delay' function with a function to be executed, a delay of 1000ms, and additional arguments
delay(
  function(text) {
    console.log(text);
  },
  1000,
  'later'
);
