# Pause
|
||||
|
||||
Pause program execution for the specified number of milliseconds. This function is helpful when you need to slow down your program's execution.
|
||||
|
||||
```sig
|
||||
basic.pause(400)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
* ``ms`` - the number of milliseconds that you want to pause (100 = 1/10 second, 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.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
|
||||
led.plot(i, i)
|
||||
basic.pause(500)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
