setTimeout not working inside infinite loop

Question

    while(true){
        window.setTimeout(function() {
            myMethod()
        }, 15000);
        }
        function myMethod() {
            alert(\"repeat\         


        

Answer 1

The trick here, I think, would be to have the check inside the setTimeout and use clearTimeout when the condition is met. Here's an example that logs a count to the console every 1.5 seconds until 0.

function looper(time) {
  if (time > 0) {
    console.log(time);
    var timer = setTimeout(looper, 1500, --time);
  } else {
    clearTimeout(timer);
  }
}

looper(10);

You would obviously change the condition to that required by your program.
