Question

I only want to run the function 1 time.

timerA = setInterval(function()
         {
            //codes..
            clearInterval(timerA);
         }, 2000);

I want to call the function inside setInterval only 1 time. How can I do it with setInterval and clearInterval?

Or is there another technique to do it?

Answer 1

Use the setTimeout method if you only want it to run once.

Example:

 setTimeout(function() {
      // Do something after 5 seconds
 }, 5000);
