@Leah The way to verify it in this example is by modifying the file with the function while the "timedwait" pauses the execution. In practice I modified the content of the println while the script was in timedwait.
The goal is to be able to modify functions without the need of restarting the script, which takes time compiling the imported modules and other functions/code from the program.
