rustHow to sleep in Rust

Sleeping in Rust is done using the std::thread::sleep function. This function takes a Duration as an argument, which is a type representing a span of time.

use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;

// Sleep for 2 seconds
sleep(Duration::from_secs(2));

The code above will sleep for 2 seconds.

Code explanation

1. use std::thread::sleep: imports the sleep function from the std::thread module.
2. use std::time::Duration: imports the Duration type from the std::time module.
3. Duration::from_secs(2): creates a Duration representing 2 seconds.
4. sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)): calls the sleep function with the Duration representing 2 seconds.
