Example

In the following code shows how to use Thread.sleep(long millis, int nanos) method.

/*from  w  w w. jav a2  s .c o  m*/
class ThreadDemo implements Runnable {

  public void run() {
    for (int i = 1; i < 13; i++) {

      System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + "  " + i);
      try {
        // thread to sleep for 1000 milliseconds plus 500 nanoseconds
        Thread.sleep(1000, 500);
      } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e);
      }
    }
  }
}

public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadDemo());
    t.start();

  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
