setInterval() behaviour with 0 milliseconds in JavaScript

Question

In my application I found some JavaScript code that is using setInterval with 0 milliseconds, like so:

self.setInterval(\"myFunction()\",0);
         


        

Answer 1

setInterval(myFunction, 0) calls myFunction continuously with minimum delay. It is almost like calling myFunction in a infinite loop. Except that here you can stop the loop using the clearInterval method.
