JavaScript - Built in Functions - setTimeout and setInterval

There are two very import built-in functions in JavaScript. This registered in window object.

1. setTimeout
2. setInterval

setTimeout: This function accepts two arguments.

1.  Function , named or closures (anonymous functions)
2.  Time period in milliseconds, this setTimeout must wait before executing the function.

Example:

setTimeout(function(){console.log("Here I am");},2000);

setInterval: Another important function is the setInterval function which can be used to call periodically a function.

We can use setInterval in combination with setTimeout to create really interesting stuffs. Below is one example.



var interval = setInterval(function(){console.log("Inside setInterval");},200);

setTimeout(function(){clearInterval(interval);},1000)
