A timer is the best solution:
TimerH = timer('TimerFcn', @yourFunction, 'StartDelay', 10, ...
'ExecutionMode', 'singleShot');
start(TimerH);
Consider, that the timer function needs two inputs:
function yourFunction(TimerH, EventData)
...

Can we use timer without user input? Like if I just want to wait for 10sec after execution of a part of code before it starts to execute the next part.

Yes, your yourFunction can ignore the two input parameters (but must have slots for them.)
However if you just want a delay, then use pause()
