How do I use the Tokio timer in Rust?

You can use the tokio::time module to create timers in Rust. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a simple example.

Here's a basic example:

use tokio::time::{sleep, Duration};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    println!("Waiting for 2 seconds...");
    sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)).await;
    println!("2 seconds have passed!");
}

What if I want to set a timer that repeats?

You can use a loop with sleep. Here's an example of a repeating timer:

use tokio::time::{sleep, Duration};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    loop {
        println!("Timer tick!");
        sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
    }
}
