Sleep Function Example Program

public class SleepFunctionDemo {
    public static void main(String args[])
        throws InterruptedException {

            "This is statement 2",
            "This is statement 3",
            "This is statement 4"
        };
        for (int i = 0;i < str.length;i++) {
            Thread.sleep(4000);
            System.out.println(str[i]);
			System.out.println("After 4 seconds....");

        }
    }
}
