Function setTimeout

setTimeout(code: () => void, delay: number): number
Sets a timeout to call the provided callback after the specified number of milliseconds. The callback is invoked on the scripting thread once the deadline has passed. Use clearTimeout with the returned TimeoutID to cancel a pending timeout before it fires.
Parameters
- code: () => void
- delay: number
Returns number
TimeoutID that can be used to clear the timeout.

Example
```
const timeoutId = setTimeout(function() {
    print("One second has passed.");
}, 1000);

// Cancel the timeout before it fires:
clearTimeout(timeoutId);
```
setTimeout<TArgs extends any[]>(
    callback: (...args: TArgs) => void,
    ms?: number,
    ...args: TArgs,
): Timeout
Schedules execution of a one-time callback after delay milliseconds.

The callback will likely not be invoked in precisely delay milliseconds. Node.js makes no guarantees about the exact timing of when callbacks will fire, nor of their ordering. The callback will be called as close as possible to the time specified.

When delay is larger than 2147483647 or less than 1, the delay will be set to 1. Non-integer delays are truncated to an integer.

If callback is not a function, a TypeError will be thrown.

This method has a custom variant for promises that is available using timersPromises.setTimeout().
Type Parameters
- TArgs extends any[]
Parameters
- callback: (...args: TArgs) => void
  The function to call when the timer elapses.
- Optionalms: number
- ...args: TArgs
  Optional arguments to pass when the callback is called.
Returns Timeout
