perform parts of function with time space java script

Question

I have a function

Plus() {
    document.getElementsByClassName('like hintable')[0].click(); Hide();alert ("test") ;
}

How could I run document.getElementsByClassName('like hintable')[0].click()
after two seconds run Hide() after two other seconds run alert.

Is there any way without creating 3 functions and use setTimeOut .

Creating function for different activity is not a bad practice. U have to create different functions to achieve this. — Simpal Kumar, Jul 15 '15 at 07:16

You cannot use sleep/delay/wait in a function to pause Javascript unfortunately.

You have to use setTimeout()
