JavaScript Intervals and Timeouts Removing intervals
Example
window.setInterval() returns an IntervalID, which can be used to stop that interval from continuing to run. To do this, store the return value of window.setInterval() in a variable and call clearInterval() with that variable as the only argument:
function waitFunc(){
console.log("This will be logged every 5 seconds");
}
var interval = window.setInterval(waitFunc,5000);
window.setTimeout(function(){
clearInterval(interval);
},32000);
This will log This will be logged every 5 seconds every 5 seconds, but will stop it after 32 seconds. So it will log the message 6 times.
