Javascript run a function inside a loop every x iterations

Question

I have a variable of unknown value, it will be an integer. For this sake, lets say var a = 3;

I have a function that is called continuously:

<         


        

Answer 1

Create a second variable which keeps hold of the current count, then wrap the call you only want every third iteration with

if(counter % a == 0) {
    //code you want called
}
