settimeout vs setinterval react code example

Example 1: 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.

Example 2: 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);
