firing setinterval every 2 seconds code example

Example 1: setinterval vs settimeout js

var intervalID = setInterval(alert, 1000); // Will alert every second.
// clearInterval(intervalID); // Will clear the timer.

setTimeout(alert, 1000); // Will alert once, after a second.
setInterval(function(){ 
	console.log("Oooo Yeaaa!");
}, 2000);//run this thang every 2 seconds

Example 2: javascript interval fixed number of times

// This will be repeated 5 times with 1 second intervals:
setIntervalX(function () {
    // Your logic here
}, 1000, 5);
