setInterval number of times code example

Example 1: javascript interval fixed number of times

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

Example 2: js setinterval vs settimeout

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

setTimeout(alert, 1000); // Will alert once, after a second.
