Sleep
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Write a program that does the following in this order:
- Input an amount of time to sleep in whatever units are most natural for your language (milliseconds, seconds, ticks, etc.). This unit should be noted in comments or in a description.
- Print "Sleeping..."
- Sleep the main thread for the given amount of time.
- Print "Awake!"
- End.

INT milliseconds = read int; # ping uses milliseconds #
print ("Sleeping...");
VOID (system ("ping 0.0.0.1 -n 1 -w " + whole (milliseconds, 0) + " >NUL"));
# 0.0.0.1 is an invalid IP address and cannot be used, so this will never conflict with a real IP address #

Sinclair ZX81 BASIC
The PAUSE
statement pauses execution for a length of time expressed in terms of the frame rate of the television you are using as a monitor. But there are one or two problems with it...
(1) Televisions in different countries have (had) different frame rates, so a one-second pause would need to be coded as PAUSE 50
in Britain and PAUSE 60
in the United States. The use of PAUSE
therefore reduces compatibility.
(2) The highest acceptable value is 32767 frames: anything higher is taken to mean "pause forever".
(3) If the user presses a key, the computer will stop pausing and resume execution from the line after the PAUSE
.
(4) In FAST
mode the PAUSE
statement needs to be followed by POKE 16437,255
to avoid corrupting the program.
(5) The duration of the pause is not terribly precise.
(6) The screen flickers irritatingly when the pause ends, even if you are in SLOW
mode.
Bearing all these factors in mind, it will often be found easier to use an empty FOR
loop instead.
(Oh, and the ZX81 character set doesn't include lower-case letters or an exclamation mark: so the message Awake! has to be replaced by AWAKE.)

The usual way to do this is to use the ping
utility which waits a second between multiple tries. To wait n seconds one tells ping
to make n + 1 tries and redirects the output:
@echo off
set /p Seconds=Enter the number of seconds to sleep:
set /a Seconds+=1
echo Sleeping ...
ping -n %Seconds% localhost >nul 2>&1
echo Awake!
A similar trick can be used to wait a certain number of milliseconds. The ping
utility includes a /w
option which specifies the timeout to wait for a reply. This coupled with an unreachable address (where the full timeout will be needed) leads to the following:
@echo off
set /p MilliSeconds=Enter the number of milliseconds to sleep:
echo Sleeping ...
ping -n 1 -w %MilliSeconds% 1.2.3.4 >nul 2>&1
echo Awake!
Starting with Windows Vista there is a command-line utility to wait a number of seconds:
@echo off
set /p Seconds=Enter the number of seconds to sleep:
echo Sleeping ...
timeout /t %Seconds% /nobreak >nul
echo Awake!

You can't do that.
No, really. E's approach to timing, concurrency, and IO is non-blocking; if you want to wait for something, you say what you want to do when it happens — i.e. callbacks. There are no threads of control which can be stopped — except automatically when they just have nothing to do.
So, the closest thing possible to the task description is to wait for the specified time to pass, then do whatever the next thing is.
def sleep(milliseconds :int, nextThing) {
stdout.println("Sleeping...")
timer.whenPast(timer.now() + milliseconds, fn {
stdout.println("Awake!")
nextThing()

Eiffel
The feature sleep
is defined in the library class EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT. So the demonstration class APPLICATION inherits from EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT in order to make sleep
available.
sleep
takes an argument which declares the number of nanoseconds to suspend the thread's execution.

The time can be a decimal like 1.5 though the actual resolution of sleep-for
depends on the operating system. The similar sit-for
stops sleeping if there's pending keyboard input.

Erlang
Erlang doesn't really have such a thing as a main thread. However, sleeping any process can be done with the timer:sleep/1 function:
main() ->
io:format("Sleeping...~n"),
timer:sleep(1000), %% in milliseconds
io:format("Awake!~n").
It is to be noted that Erlang's sleep function is implemented in Erlang with a timeout on a receive, so you may sometimes encounter the following way of sleeping a process:
main() ->
io:format("Sleeping...~n"),
receive
after 1000 -> ok %% in milliseconds
end,
io:format("Awake!~n").
which is the way it is implemented in the timer module.

Explanation note on MS
MS ( n -- ) A.10.6.2.1905
MS is a Standard Forth word that waits for at least n milliseconds. It is part of the optional Facility Wordset. It is more than just a simple delay in that in a multi-tasking environment when MS is executed the current task is asleep until the time expires.

Frink
In Frink, all values have units of measure, and sleep functions take units of time, which can be seconds, nanoseconds, minutes, hours, etc. The user may enter values like "3 hours" or "1 ms". The units of measure are captured as first-class values in the language, and not hidden in comments nor implied in APIs.
do
t = eval[input["Enter amount of time to sleep: ", "1 second"]]
while ! (t conforms time)
println["Sleeping..."]
sleep[t]
println["Awake!"]
Go
Technically, this varies from the task by sleeping the main goroutine rather than the main thread. The Go runtime multiplexes goroutines to operating system threads and the language does not provide direct access to threads.

func main() {
fmt.Print("Enter number of seconds to sleep: ")
var sec float64
fmt.Scanf("%f", &sec)

JavaScript
(in a web browser)
Generally, JavaScript in a web browser is event-loop based and (except for alert()) non-blocking. So, the closest thing possible to the task description is to do something once the specified time has passed.

setTimeout(function () {
document.write('Awake!')
}, prompt("Number of milliseconds to sleep"));
document.write('Sleeping... ');
</script>
jq
`sleep($n)` will pause (busily) for at least the given time period, measured in seconds. The excess time slept, namely `$n | sleep(.) - .`, will likely be less than some particular value on each platform, e.g. 0.00001 seconds on a 3GHz machine.
# Pseudosleep for at least the given number of $seconds (a number)
# and emit the actual number of seconds that have elapsed.

Lasso has a built in sleep command that accepts milliseconds as an input.
stdoutnl('Sleeping...')
sleep(5000) // Sleep 5 seconds

Lhogho
The Logo version works without modification. Another way to Sleep, in the Windows version of Lhogho, is to use the Win32 function, viz
make "Void "V0
make "Long "U4
make "kernel32_handle libload "kernel32.dll
to Sleep :dwMilliseconds
end
external "Sleep [ Void Sleep Long] :kernel32_handle
to millisleep :n
print [Sleeping...]
Sleep :n ; units: 1/1000th of a second
print [Awake.]
end
Liberty BASIC
Input "Please input the number of milliseconds you would like to sleep. "; sleeptime
Print "Sleeping..."
CallDLL #kernel32, "Sleep", sleeptime As long, ret As void
Print "Awake!"
Lingo
on doSleep (ms)
put "Sleeping..."
sleep(ms)
put "Awake!"
end
Logo
to sleep :n
print [Sleeping...]
wait :n ; units: 1/60th of a second
print [Awake.]
end
Logtalk
Works when using SWI-Prolog, XSB, or YAP as the backend compilers:
:- object(sleep).
:- public(how_long/1).
how_long(Seconds) :-
write('Sleeping ...'), nl,
thread_sleep(Seconds),
write('... awake!'), nl.
:- end_object.
Sample output:
| ?- sleep::how_long(5).
Sleeping ...
... awake!
yes
Lua
The input does not need to be a whole number, eg. "0.5" would cause the program to wait for half a second.
local socket = require("socket")
io.write("Input a number of seconds to sleep: ")
local input = io.read("*number")
print("Sleeping")
socket.sleep(input)
print("Awake!")
A similar effect could be achieved using a "busy" loop but the function in lua-socket is gentler on your CPU.

Mathematica /Wolfram Language
This function, as you can probably guess, takes its argument in seconds. While this function does tie up execution (but not with a busy wait), the Mathematica front end remains fully functional and can be used to stop the sleeping with Evaluation -> Abort Evaluation.

Note that sleep() is entirely inappropriate for GUI applications, which should instead set a routine to resume processing (that would be timer_cb below), activate a timer (set RUN to true), and relinquish control to the event loop. Another excellent way to perform extended processing without making an application unresponsive is via an IDLE_ACTION, provided that also regularly relinquishes control to the event loop, and can pick up where it left off when next invoked.

Plain English
To run:
Start up.
Demonstrate waiting.
Wait for the escape key.
Shut down.
To demonstrate waiting:
Write "How many milliseconds should I wait? " to the console without advancing.
Read some milliseconds from the console.
Write "Sleeping..." to the console.
Wait for the milliseconds.
Write "Awake!" to the console.
PowerShell
$d = [int] (Read-Host Duration in seconds)
Write-Host Sleeping ...
Start-Sleep $d
Write-Host Awake!
The -Milliseconds
parameter to Start-Sleep
can be used to allow for sub-second precision in sleeping.
Prolog

PureBasic
Sleeping is performed with Delay() and a value in milliseconds. The time is accurate to approximately +/- 15 milliseconds.

R
The call to flush.console is only needed if buffering is turned on. See FAQ for R on windows. The time is given in seconds (fractions allowed, resolution is system dependent).
sleep <- function(time=1)

Raku
(formerly Perl 6)
The sleep function argument is in units of seconds, but these may be fractional (to the limits of your system's clock).
my $sec = prompt("Sleep for how many microfortnights? ") * 1.2096;
say "Sleeping...";
sleep $sec;
say "Awake!";
Note that 1.2096 is a rational number in Raku, not floating point, so precision can be maintained even when dealing with very small powers of ten.

REXX
using the DELAY BIF
This REXX version supplied as is works with (without the accompanying external program shown below):
- PC/REXX
- Personal REXX
Note: the above two REXX interpreters support fractional seconds.
/*REXX program sleeps X seconds (the number of seconds is supplied via the argument).*/
parse arg secs . /*obtain optional argument from the CL.*/
if secs=='' | secs=="," then secs=0 /*Not specified? Then assume 0 (zero).*/
say 'Sleeping' secs "seconds." /*inform the invoker what's happening. */
call delay secs /*Snooze. Hopefully, just a short nap.*/
say 'Awake!' /*and now inform invoker we're running.*/
/*stick a fork in it, we're all done. */
output when using the following for input: 4.7
Sleeping 4.7 seconds. Awake!
using the DELAY routine
The above REXX program (using DELAY) will work with most REXXes:
- CMS REXX
- PC/REXX (see note)
- Personal REXX (see note)
- REGINA REXX
- ROO REXX
- R4 REXX
- TSO REXX
- (Microsoft) DOS
- (Microsoft) Windows
- any system that supports the PING command
when used in conjunction with the following program (either external or imbedded).
Note: when PC/REXX or Personal REXX are used, those REXXes already have a built-in function (BIF), so the delay subroutine (below) will never be executed, but for other REXXes, the DELAY BIF will be used instead.
This REXX program only uses whole seconds (fractional seconds are ignored).
/*REXX program delays (or SLEEPS) a number of whole seconds; fractional secs are ignored*/
trace off /*suppress REXX error messages. */
parse arg ! /*obtain all the arguments. */
if !all(arg()) then exit /*documentation requested ? */
if !cms then address '' /*if CMS, then use fast cmd path.*/
signal on halt /*handle HALT gracefully. */
signal on noValue /*handle the REXX noValue error. */
signal on syntax /*handle the REXX syntax errors. */

Coding note: the ! subroutines (above) deal mostly with determining what version of REXX is being invoked and what operating system is being used; and based on that information, appropriate flags (variables) are set. This is an example of a robust boilerplate code checking for various versions of REXX and operating systems, and it also defines additional flags not used within this particular program.
Programming note: The subroutine $ERR isn't included here; so here is the gist of the error messages:
- er 59 too many arguments specified for the ─── DELAY ─── command.
- er 53 argument ─── xxx ─── isn't numeric for the option ─── delay-seconds ─── for the ─── DELAY ─── command.

Scheme
Many Scheme implementations support srfi-18, a multithreading library which provides a 'thread-sleep!' function. The following works in Chicken Scheme:
(use format)
(use srfi-18)
(format #t "Enter a time (in seconds): ")
(let ((time (read))) ; converts input to a number, if possible
(if (number? time)
(begin
(format #t "Sleeping...~&")
(thread-sleep! time)
(format #t "Awake!~&"))
(format #t "You must enter a number~&")))
Scheme implementations also provide alternative approaches. For example, Chicken Scheme has a 'posix' library which includes a 'sleep' function.
Seed7
The duration.s7i library defines the function wait, which takes an argument of type duration. Functions to create durations with years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds and micro seconds exist also.
$ include "seed7_05.s7i";

const proc: main is func
local
var integer: secondsToSleep is 0;
begin
write("Enter number of seconds to sleep: ");
readln(secondsToSleep);
writeln("Sleeping...");
wait(secondsToSleep . SECONDS);
writeln("Awake!");
end func;
SenseTalk
SenseTalk understands time durations expressed in any units, including: seconds, minutes, days, microseconds, shakes, and jiffies!

This sleep subroutine takes the number of seconds to sleep as a parameter.
The actual linux syscall that I use to implement this takes a time struct (seconds at the first qword and nanoseconds at the second) as the first argument. Optionally you can pass another time stuct as a second argument. In the event that the sleep is interrupted by a system event, linux will fill this second struct with the remaining time so the syscall can be called again with the remaining sleep time.
