setinterval and settimeout code example

Example 1: timeout javascript

setTimeout(function(){
 	//code goes here
}, 2000); //Time before execution

Example 2: timer in javascript

//single event i.e. alarm, time in milliseconds
var timeout = setTimeout(function(){yourFunction()},10000);
//repeated events, gap in milliseconds
var interval = setInterval(function(){yourFunction()},1000);

Example 3: setinterval vs settimeout in javascript\

var intervalID = scope.setInterval(func, [delay, arg1, arg2, ...]);
var intervalID = scope.setInterval(function[, delay]);
var intervalID = scope.setInterval(code, [delay]);

Example 4: how to do a function after a set interval js

function sayHi() {
  alert('Hello');
}
//Do a function at a set interval continuously
setTimeout(sayHi, 1000);
//Do a function once after a set interval
setTimeout(sayHi, 1000);
