adjusting the time interval of "For" loop

If I make an algorithm using 'for' loop

for examples,

for i=1:10
 something
end

it calculates very fast. (as you know)

but,i want to adjust the time interval of each step.

such as

calculate i=1 step, and calculate i=2 step after 10 seconds

is it possible??

You can put a pause() in the loop

for ii = 1:10
 fprintf('Hi\n');
 pause(10);
end

I've also seen reports that java's sleep() is more accurate for this, but I can't verify that myself. The java sleep call is in milliseconds.

duration = 10;
for ii = 1:10
  fprintf('Hi\n');
  java.lang.Thread.sleep(duration*1000);
end
