What Does `setInterval()` Mean in JavaScript
By Tan Lee Published on Dec 18, 2024 278
`setInterval()` is a JavaScript function that repeatedly executes a piece of code at a specified time interval.
It takes two arguments: a function to run, and the time in milliseconds between each execution.
let count = 0; const intervalId = setInterval(() => { count++; console.log(count); // This will log the number every second }, 1000); // Executes every 1000 milliseconds (1 second)
In this example, the number will increase by one every second and be logged to the console.
To stop the interval, use clearInterval(intervalId)
, where intervalId
is the identifier returned by setInterval()
