setInterval vs setTimeOut in jquery code example

Example 1: difference between setTimeout() and setInterval()

.setTimeout() //executes the code after x seconds.
.setInterval() //executes the code **every** x seconds.

Example 2: setinterval vs settimeout

setTimeout allows us to run a function once after the interval of time.
setInterval allows us to run a function repeatedly, starting after the interval of time, then repeating continuously at that interval.
