setTimeout or setInterval?

Question

As far as I can tell, these two pieces of javascript behave the same way:

Option A:

function myTimeoutFunction()
{
    doStuff();
           


        

Answer 1

You can validate bobince answer by yourself when you run the following javascript or check this JSFiddle

var timeout = 0;
var interval = 0;

function doTimeout(){
    $('#timeout').html(timeout);
    timeout++;
    setTimeout(doTimeout, 1);
}

function doInterval(){
    $('#interval').html(interval);
    interval++;
}

$(function(){
    doTimeout();
    doInterval();
    setInterval(doInterval, 1);
});
