What are JavaScript timing functions?

Can you explain what JavaScript timing functions are?

Sure! JavaScript timing functions are methods that allow you to execute code after a specified delay or at regular intervals.

What are the main timing functions in JavaScript?

The main timing functions are setTimeout, setInterval, and clearTimeout. setTimeout executes a function after a delay, setInterval repeatedly executes a function at specified intervals, and clearTimeout stops a timeout.

Can you give me an example of using setTimeout?

Of course! Here's a simple example: setTimeout(() => { console.log('Hello after 2 seconds!'); }, 2000); This will log the message after 2 seconds.

What about setInterval? How does it work?

setInterval works similarly, but it repeatedly calls a function at specified intervals. For example: setInterval(() => { console.log('This message appears every 1 second.'); }, 1000); will log the message every second.
