var intervalId;
var runCount = 1;
function sayHello() {
if (runCount > 5) {
clearInterval(intervalId)
}
console.log(runCount, “Hello!”);
runCount++;
}
console.log(“And the wait starts…”);
intervalId = setInterval(sayHello, 1000);
why the above code printing hello 6 times?
Hi @akashagarwal1321,
This code prints hello 6th time because of the console.log(runCount,“Hello!”) after the if block. After executing the if block it will execute the console line written in 8th line of code according to the below image to complete the execution of the code.
Okay Does it mean that clearInterval() just only stops the next setInterval() call and does not act like break?
