### Parameters
* ``ms`` - the number of milliseconds that you want to pause (100 = 1/10 second, 1000 milliseconds = 1 second)
* ``ms`` is the number of milliseconds that you want to pause (100 milliseconds = 1/10 second, and 1000 milliseconds = 1 second).
### Example: diagonal line
The following example code turns on LED `0, 0` thru `4, 4`, pausing 500 milliseconds after each LED. Without `pause`, the code would run so fast that you wouldn't see each individual LED turning on.
This example draws a diagonal line by turning on LED `0, 0` (top left) through LED `4, 4` (bottom right).
The program pauses 500 milliseconds after turning on each LED.
Without `pause`, the program would run so fast that you would not have time to see each LED turning on.
