clearInterval() global function
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The global clearInterval() method cancels a timed, repeating action which
was previously established by a call to setInterval().
If the parameter provided does not identify a previously established action,
this method does nothing.
Syntax
js
clearInterval(intervalID)
Parameters
intervalID-
The identifier of the repeated action you want to cancel. This ID was returned by the corresponding call to
setInterval().
It's worth noting that the pool of IDs used by
setInterval() and
setTimeout() are shared, which
means you can technically use clearInterval() and
clearTimeout() interchangeably.
However, for clarity, you should avoid doing so.
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
See the setInterval() examples.
