setTimeout with Loop in JavaScript

Question

I have a very trivial question. For a simple loop with setTimeout, like this:

for (var count = 0; count < 3; count++) {
    setTimeout(function() {
               


        

Answer 1

That is because by the time the for loop completes its execution the count is 3, and then the set timeout is called.

Try this:

var count = 0; 
setTimeout(function() {
       for (count = 0; count < 3; count++) {
           alert("Count = " + count);
        }
}, 1000* count);
