SetTimeout with standard counter

Question

I want to create a alert \"Hello\" which will show up after 10sec. I used setTimeout and it working fine. Now i would like to do counter(timer) which will show 10, 9, 8,7 ...

Answer 1

You'll have to make one, setInterval would be a good choice for counter.

var time = 10, x = setInterval(function () {
  console.log(--time);
  if (time === 0) {
    alert("hello");
    clearInterval(x);
  }
}, 1000);
