Answer 1

you will need to add a setTimeout function. Example as shown below.

setTimeout(function(){
//Your code to be executed here
},3000);

Note: 3000 means 3seconds.

A while loop is only executed while the expression after the while is true. In this case, that expression is True, which always evaluates to True.

Consider replacing this with something like countdown > 0 . Once this statement evaluates to False, the execution will exit the while loop and continue to code afterwards, where you can put your shown message.

Total code:

import time
countdown = 100
while countdown > 0: # While the condition is true, it will keep looping
    display = " [ Countdown {:03d} ] ".format(countdown)
    print(display, end="r")
    time.sleep(2)
    countdown -= 1
print('Countdown finished!') # Executed only once the loop is finished

Replace the true value in the while loop that makes the condition for infinite loop
with

 import time

 countdown = 100

 while countdown >0:

   display = " [ Countdown {:03d} ] ".format(countdown)

   print(display, end="r")

   time. Sleep(2)

   countdown -= 1
