using the window.setTimeout Method - JS

If I want to make an alert box to show my the words 'Hello' and then 'Yes, I see you, Hello back!' using this code? How would I?

window.setTimeout(() => {alert('Hello');}, 3000, 'Yes, I see you, Hello back!');

In other words, I want to click that button once and then have the alert say "yes!" And then have it say "Yes, I see you, Hello back".

If I understand correctly what you want, you just need two "alert" calls in your function:

window.setTimeout(() => {alert('Hello'); alert('Yes, I see you, Hello back!');}, 3000);
