使用JavaScript经过一定时间后，让函数运行吗？

Question

I want to create a stopwatch with JavaScript, except when a certain amount of time has passed, a function runs, like an alert or something. The thing that I can't find on the web though, is that I don't want the text to show how much time has passed.

I've tried to go into some code and add if statements about when a particular time comes about, the function runs. But I haven't had any luck so far.

I don't have any example code files or anything like that because I've been testing loads of different ones.

So in the end, I don't want the stopwatch to show the text of much time has passed so far. I also want a function to run when a particular amount of time has passed after clicking the button. Hope somebody can help! Thank you in advance.

Use setTimeout() and set the number of milliseconds you want to wait as below:

 setTimeout(function(){ alert('it works'); }, 2000);
