setTimeout( ) Method

The setTimeout() method sets a timer which executes a function or specified

piece of code once after the timer expires. The function is only executed once.
It returns a positive integer value which identifies the timer created by the call
to setTimeout(); this value can be passed to clearTimeout() to cancel the
timeout.
Syntax: -
setTimeout (function, milliseconds, para1, para2);
Ex: - var timeoutID = setTimeout(show, 2000);
 clearTimeout( ) Method
The clearTimeout() method cancels a timeout previously established by
calling setTimeout(). The ID value returned by setTimeout() is used as the
parameter for the clearTimeout() method.
Syntax: - clearTimeout (timeoutID);
Ex: - clearTimeout(timeoutID);
 setInterval( ) Method
The setInterval() method repeatedly calls a function or executes a code
snippet, with a fixed time delay between each call. It returns an interval ID
which uniquely identifies the interval, so you can remove it later by calling
clearInterval().
Syntax: - setInterval (function, milliseconds, para1, para2);
Ex: - var intervalID = setInterval(show, 2000);
 clearInterval( ) Method
The clearInterval() method cancels a timed, repeating action which was
previously established by a call to setInterval().
Syntax: - clearInterval (intervalID);
Ex: - clearInterval(intervalID);
