Thread: Delay.

Is it possible to create a delay in java? I've been wondering this for a while. Then, could you use a variable in the delay thats a double?
Ex.

import java.util.Scanner;
// Program starting (class etc, void main)
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
double delaysec;
System.out.println("How many seconds do you want to wait for each prompt?");
delaysec = scan.next.Double(); // Get the double
// delay command for delaysec amount
for(int x = 0; x<5;x++) // Do it 5 times
{
System.out.println("This has waited : " + delaysec + "seconds.");
//Delay command again
}
// End program

long sleepInMilliseconds = 1000;//1 second
try{
    Thread.sleep(sleepInMilliseconds );
}catch(InterruptedException e){
 
}
