Question

I have the following situation:

I have a certain function that runs a loop and does stuff, and error conditions may make it exit that loop. I want to be able to check whether the loop is still running or not.

For this, i’m doing, for each loop run:

LastTimeIDidTheLoop = new Date(); 

And in another function, which runs through SetInterval every 30 seconds, I want to do basically this:

if (LastTimeIDidTheLoop is more than 30 seconds ago) {   alert('oops'); } 

How do I do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

what about:

newDate = new Date() newDate.setSeconds(newDate.getSeconds()-30); if (newDate > LastTimeIDidTheLoop) {   alert('oops'); }
