// create a function to wait 1000 with passing control outside // parameterize

You can create a function that returns a Promise which resolves after a specified delay, while allowing control to return to the event loop, enabling other operations to run.

Here's an example in JavaScript with a parameterized delay:

function wait(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

// Usage:
async function example() {
  console.log('Starting');
  await wait(1000); // waits 1000 ms, control returns to the event loop
  console.log('One second passed');
}

example();

This approach prevents blocking the execution thread and allows asynchronous waiting with control passed to other tasks.
