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

// YCombinator
function anonymous(fnc) {
  return function() {
    fnc.apply(fnc, arguments);
    return fnc;
  }
}

// Invoking the first time:
setInterval(anonymous(function() {
  console.log("bar");
})(), 4000);

// Not invoking the first time:
setInterval(anonymous(function() {
  console.log("foo");
}), 4000);
// Or simple:
setInterval(function() {
  console.log("baz");
}, 4000);

Ok this is so complex, so, let me put it more simple:

function hello(status ) {    
  console.log('world', ++status.count);
  
  return status;
}

setInterval(hello, 5 * 1000, hello({ count: 0 }));
