JavaScript Masterclass - Zero to Job-Ready with Hands-On Projects - setInterval / 183

The lecture discusses JavaScript's setTimeout and setInterval functions. It explains the behavior of setTimeout with a zero delay, highlighting that the delay is a minimum and can be longer due to the call stack. The setInterval function is introduced, showing how it repeatedly calls a function at specified intervals. The importance of managing setInterval with clearInterval to prevent it from running indefinitely is emphasized.

How does the JavaScript runtime environment handle the call stack and the queue during asynchronous operations?

Describe the process that occurs when a callback is pushed to the queue after a setTimeout call.

What happens when you set a timeout with a duration of zero milliseconds?

What does it mean when we say that the zero millisecond delay is the minimum waiting period?

Explain the difference between setTimeout and setInterval.

Why is it important to clear an interval in JavaScript?

What are the potential issues with using setInterval without clearing it?
