Introduce a fixed time delay

Hi, I want a time delay of, say, 2minutes be introduced in between the execution of two statements. Can anyone suggest about how to achieve that....Any definite MATLAB functions available for that?

Ofcourse I have the idea of running an infinite loop for a calculated number of cycles to achieve that ...but I dont think that is an universal best way to do it and make the program 'computer-independent'.

Thanks.

How about

pause(120.0);

Also you can evaluate how much time required to execute your function f, by using timeit(f) and then use pause or simply using pause(timeit(f)).
