javascript Call function 10 times with 1 second between

Question

How to call a function 10 times like

for(x=0; x<10; x++) callfunction();

but with 1 sec between each call?

Answer 1

Similar to Amadan's answer but with a different style of closure which means you re-use instead of creating new functions

function call(fn, /* ms */ every, /* int */ times) {
    var repeater = function () {
        fn();
        if (--times) window.setTimeout(repeater, every);
    };
    repeater(); // start loop
}
// use it
var i = 0;
call(function () {console.log(++i);}, 1e3, 10); // 1e3 is 1 second
// 1 to 10 gets logged over 10 seconds

In this example, if you were to set times to either 0 or Infinity, it would run forever.
