How to Call a Function After Every 5 Seconds in JavaScript

Are you looking for a way to call a function after every 5 seconds in JavaScript?

If so, then you've come to the right place! In this article, I'll show you exactly how it can be done.

The most common way of calling a function after every 5 seconds is by using setInterval() method.

This method calls the specified function repeatedly at regular intervals (in milliseconds).

To use setInterval() method, simply pass in two arguments: 1) The name of your function and 2) The interval time (in milliseconds).

<script>
 setInterval(myFunction, 5000);
</script>

You can also use clearInterval() method to stop the repeated execution when needed. All that needs to be done is pass in an ID created from setInterval():

To stop the calling of a function after a particular number of times using setInterval() in JavaScript, you can use a counter variable and the clearInterval() function.

Here is an example that calls a function named myFunction() every 2 seconds and stops after it has been called 7 times:

In the above example, the myFunction() function logs "Hello " plus the counter to the console and increments the counter variable by one on each call.

If the counter becomes equal to 7, the clearInterval() function is called with the intervalId parameter to stop the repeated calling of the function.
