setInterval with loop time

Question

setInterval(function(){}, 200) 

this code run the function each 200 miliseconds, how do I do it if I only want the function to be ran 10 times.

thanks for help.

Answer 1

Use a counter which increments each time the callback gets executed, and when it reaches your desired number of executions, use clearInterval() to kill the timer:

var counter = 0; var i = setInterval(function(){     // do your thing      counter++;     if(counter === 10) {         clearInterval(i);     } }, 200); 

Answer 2

(function(){ var i = 10;     (function k(){          // your code here                      if( --i ) {         setTimeout( k, 200 );         }      })() })()
