Answer 1

Use a counter which increments each time the callback gets executed, and when it reaches your desired number of executions, use clearInterval() to kill the timer:

var counter = 0;
var i = setInterval(function(){
    // do your thing

    counter++;
    if(counter === 10) {
        clearInterval(i);
    }
}, 200);
