Line 979:
The input does not need to be a whole number, eg. "0.5" would cause the program to wait for half a second.
<lang lua>require("socket")
▲ io.write("Input a number of seconds to sleep: ")
print("Sleeping")
socket.sleep(input)
print("Awake!")</lang>
A similar effect could be achieved using a "busy" loop but the function in lua-socket is gentler on your CPU.
