Execute the setInterval function without delay the first time

Question

It\'s there a way to configure the setInterval method of javascript to execute the method immediately and then executes with the timer

Answer 1

Here's a simple version for novices without all the messing around. It just declares the function, calls it, then starts the interval. That's it.

//Declare your function here
function My_Function(){
  console.log("foo");
}    

//Call the function first
My_Function();

//Set the interval
var interval = window.setInterval( My_Function, 500 );
