The difference between settimeout and setinterval method

the difference between settimeout and setinterval method

SetTimeout () is used to set the corresponding function or code to execute after the specified time., executed at the global scope

SetTimeout (Code,time[,args ...]) code: function or JS code to be executed, time to wait, args: parameter

such as: function SayHello (name, age) { //popup message after 5 Seconds "My name Codeplayer, 18 years old this year!". 

Alert ("I call" + name + ", this year" + Age + "old!");

   SetTimeout (SayHello, "Codeplayer", 18);

SetInterval () is used to set the corresponding function or code to execute at a specified time , executing at the global scope

SetInterval (Code,time[,args ...]) code: function or JS code to be executed, time to wait, args: parameter

such as: function SayHello (name, age) { //every 5 seconds pops up the message "My name Codeplayer, 18 years old this year!". 

Alert ("I call" + name + ", this year" + Age + "old!");

    SetInterval (SayHello, "Codeplayer", 18);

    The difference between setTimeout () and SetInterval ()

    1. SetTimeOut (), execute once

    2. SetInterval (), executes every few seconds

    SetTimeout () implements the function of SetInterval (), using recursive algorithm

such as: function Test () {

Alert ("Test");

SetTimeout (test,2000);

    }

   SetTimeout (test,5000);

SetInterval () execution within the same time

SetTimeout () The time of first execution and subsequent execution can be different
