Javascript Setinterval

The setInterval() function in JavaScript is used to repeatedly execute a given function or code snippet at a fixed interval. It takes two parameters: the function to be executed and the time interval (in milliseconds) between each execution.

Here’s an example of how to use setInterval():

// Example function to be executed
function doSomething() {
  console.log("Doing something...");
}

// Execute the function every 1 second (1000 milliseconds)
var intervalID = setInterval(doSomething, 1000);

In this example, the doSomething() function will be executed every 1 second. The setInterval() function returns an interval ID, which can be used to stop the interval using the clearInterval() function:

// Clear the interval after 5 seconds
setTimeout(function() {
  clearInterval(intervalID);
}, 5000);

In this case, the clearInterval() function is called after 5 seconds using setTimeout(), which stops the execution of the setInterval() function.

It’s important to note that setInterval() will continue executing the provided function indefinitely until it is explicitly stopped using clearInterval().
