Async.Sleep Method (F#)

Creates an asynchronous computation that will sleep for the given time. This is scheduled using a Timer object. The operation will not block operating system threads for the duration of the wait.

Namespace/Module Path: Microsoft.FSharp.Control

Assembly: FSharp.Core (in FSharp.Core.dll)

// Signature:
static member Sleep : int -> Async<unit>

// Usage:
Async.Sleep (millisecondsDueTime)

Parameters

  • millisecondsDueTime
    Type: int

    The number of milliseconds to sleep.

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Thrown when the due time is negative and not infinite.

Return Value

An asynchronous computation that will sleep for the given time.

Example

The following code example shows how to use Async.Sleep to simulate computations that run for specific durations.

let simulatedJob id time =
    let timestamp() = System.DateTime.Now.Ticks
    async {
       printfn "Job %d start" id
       let timestamp1 = timestamp()
       do! Async.Sleep(time * 1000)
       let timestamp2 = timestamp()
       let timespan = System.TimeSpan(timestamp2 - timestamp1)
       printfn "Job %d end %s" id (timespan.ToString("G"))
    }

Sample Output

The output is interleaved, because there are multiple threads running at the same time.

Job Job 0 start

1 start

Job 2 starJob 3 start

Job 4 start

Job 5 start

Job 6 start

Job 7 start

Job 8 start
