How can I implement a timeout feature in my application?

You can implement a timeout feature by using a timer function that triggers an action after a specified duration.

What programming languages can I use for this?

You can use languages like JavaScript, Python, or Java, as they all have built-in support for timers.

Can you provide a code example in JavaScript?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

setTimeout(() => {
    console.log('Timeout reached!');
}, 5000); // 5000 milliseconds = 5 seconds

How can I cancel the timeout if needed?

You can use the clearTimeout function. Store the timeout ID returned by setTimeout and call clearTimeout(timeoutId) to cancel it.
