How to create a timer in javascript

 To make a timer in javascript,we can use the following functions:

1. setTimeout

2. setInterval

setTimeout:

using set time out , we can trigger a specific function 'once' in a given amount of time.

for example:

    function myFunction() {

  console.log("Timer is done!");

}

// Set a timer to call myFunction after 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds)

const timerId = setTimeout(myFunction, 2000);

// You can cancel the timer before it executes using clearTimeout

// clearTimeout(timerId);

--------------------------------------------------------------------

setInterval:

using setInterval , we can trigger a function 'repeatedly'  with a break of specified time.

for example:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function myFunction() {

  console.log("Timer is running!");

}

// Set a timer to call myFunction every 1000 milliseconds (1 second)

const timerId = setInterval(myFunction, 1000);

// To stop the interval, use clearInterval

// clearInterval(timerId);
