setTimeout happens only once in a loop expression

Question

This is an example:

function func1()
{
   setTimeout(function(){doSomething();}, 3000);
}
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
   func1();
}

after executing

Answer 1

It is because setTimeout() function is non-blocking. Therefore your setTimeout() function is running only first time.

Try this code...

var i = 1;
    function func1(){
        setTimeout(function(){
            doSomething();
            i++;
            if(i < 10){
                func1();
            }
        }, 3000);
    }
func1();
