@coder-assist can you rewrite the sleep function in dejecj/sandbox/blob/main/index.js so that it doesn't use a Promise?

from sandbox.

Certainly! Here's an updated version of the sleep function from the dejecj/sandbox repository that does not use a Promise:

            function sleep(ms) {
                const start = Date.now();
                let currentTime = null;
                do {
                    currentTime = Date.now();
                } while (currentTime - start < ms);
            }

This function uses a do...while loop to block the JavaScript event loop and thereby pause the script's execution for the desired amount of time, rather than creating a Promise and invoking the setTimeout function.

@coder-assits ok can you convert this to use promises?

function sleep(ms) {
                const start = Date.now();
                let currentTime = null;
                do {
                    currentTime = Date.now();
                } while (currentTime - start < ms);
            }

                    currentTime = Date.now();
                } while (currentTime - start < ms);
            }

Sure, here's one way to convert the sleep function to use promises:

function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

This version of the sleep function creates a Promise instance that will resolve after a specified amount of time using the native setTimeout function. The resolve function passed to setTimeout is called after the specified ms duration, signaling that the promise has been fulfilled.

You can now use this promise version of sleep to handle asynchronous code in JavaScript.
