How to set a timeout or delay in jQuery?

To set a timeout or delay in jQuery, you can use the setTimeout() method.

Here is an example of how to set a delay of 1 second (1000 milliseconds) before executing a function:

setTimeout(function(){
   // code to be executed after 1 second
}, 1000);

In this example, the anonymous function will be executed after 1 second.

You can also pass additional arguments to the setTimeout() method if needed. Here's an example:

setTimeout(function(arg1, arg2){
   // code to be executed after 1 second with arguments arg1 and arg2
}, 1000, arg1Value, arg2Value);

In this case, the anonymous function will be executed after 1 second with the provided arguments arg1Value and arg2Value.
