What are some common examples of timeout errors in code?

Timeout errors typically occur when a program takes too long to respond. For example, in a web application, if a server takes longer than a specified time to respond to a request, a timeout error may be thrown.

Can you give me a specific code example in Python?

Sure! In Python, you might use the requests library. Here's an example:

import requests
try:
    response = requests.get('https://example.com', timeout=5)
except requests.exceptions.Timeout:
    print('The request timed out')

What about timeout errors in JavaScript?

In JavaScript, you can encounter timeout errors with setTimeout. For example:

setTimeout(() => {
    console.log('This will run after 2 seconds');
}, 2000);
// If the function takes too long, you might want to handle it differently.
