setTimeout and setInterval

Ways to do tasks/functions/things asynchronously at a set delay or set interval.

setTimeout(function, ms)

• This means that 'x' milliseconds from now, place the contained function in the execution queue. The amount of time set will not be exact.
• This can be used to prevent the user interface (UI) from being blocked while a browser is processing. ex: setTimeout (function, 0)

setInterval(function, ms)

• This means that this function will be repeated every 'x' milliseconds.
• Use clearInterval to stop the call.
