setTimeout vs setInterval
🏷️ Javascript
setTimeout
Run a function once after the interval of time
The first argument is function or string to execute. If function, pass its reference
The second is the delay time in ms, default 0
The rest arguments are arguments passed to the first argument when executed
setTimeout return a timerId
Call clearTimeout(timerId) to cancel the execution
setTimeout(func, 0) is scheduled as soon as possible after the current script is complete
setInterval
Run a function repeatedly after the interval of time
The arguments are similar to the setTimeout
The function also returns a timerId
Call clearInterval(timerId) to cancel
