What is setTimeout in JavaScript?

Can you explain what setTimeout does in JavaScript?

Sure! setTimeout is a function that allows you to execute a piece of code after a specified delay in milliseconds.

How do I use setTimeout to delay a function call?

You can use it like this: setTimeout(yourFunction, delayInMilliseconds); for example, setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello!'), 1000); will log 'Hello!' after 1 second.

Can I pass arguments to the function called by setTimeout?

Yes, you can pass arguments by using an anonymous function or an arrow function. For example: setTimeout(() => yourFunction(arg1, arg2), delay);.

What happens if I call setTimeout multiple times?

Each call to setTimeout creates a new timer, so if you call it multiple times, each timer will execute its callback independently after the specified delay.
