Is there a way in python to PAUSE the code at any given time?

Question

For example,
print(“Hi”)
Wait 5 seconds…
print(“Hey”)

And if so, can you make it so that instead of inserting input at the beginning of a code, you can do it somewhere in the middle?

For example
print(“Hi”)
print(“Is your name “ + input() + “?”)
But instead of putting the input in the beginning, it’s at the middle?

In case you didn’t see, this is python.

Answer 1

It dosen t work on sololearn compiler, try on termux or pydroid

Answer 2

import time
print("Hi")
time.sleep(5) #wait 5 sec
print("Hey")

on sololearn it will happen on the server side, you'll not notice it.

Answer 3

You can't see the delay, but it does happen.
What if you print the current time, delay for some time, print the current time again. I think you will see the two prints on SoloLearn, but it may time out if your delay is too long....

EDIT: I think code playground executes without time... magic! gives a single value when DELAY is 4, crashes at DELAY is 5.

Answer 4

HungryTradie your idea works with python.
import time
print(time.time())
time.sleep(5) #wait 5 sec
print(time.time())

it prints different timestamps. 5 sec apart.

Answer 5

Also for the wait function i tried using
time.sleep
But that just made it wait in the begining instead of the middle.

Answer 6

Oh ok

Answer 7

But for the input thing can you do it later in the code or not?

Answer 8

In sololearn, Output is not live so the following will not work in sololearn :

import time
time.sleep(time to wait in seconds)

Answer 9

Impossible in Sololearn
