setTimeout() function

The setTimeout() function is a built-in JavaScript function that allows you to schedule the execution of a specified function or code block after a specified time delay. It is commonly used for implementing time-based actions in web applications, such as animations, event handling, and asynchronous operations.
In client script we can use setTimeOut() function to delay the execution of the function. It will help us to avoid the issue with overriding of field value during execution.

setTimeout(function, delay);

• function: This is the function or code block that you want to execute after the specified delay.
• delay: The delay is the time (in milliseconds) you want to wait before the function is executed. For example, if you want to wait for 1000 milliseconds (1 second) before executing the function, you would pass 1000 as the delay.

function greet() {
  console.log("Hello, World!");
}

setTimeout(greet, 2000); // Executes the greet function after a 2-second (2000 ms) delay.
