Pausing setInterval()

Question

Is it possible to pause a setInterval() at a click of a button and then continue it again later?

Answer 1

<button onclick="tmr=!tmr">Play/Puase</button>
<div id="timer"></div>

<script>
tmr = false, cnt = 0;
setInterval(function(){
if(tmr) timer.innerText = ++cnt;
},10);
</script>

Not to my knowledge*, but if you want to simulate pausing it people could offer a few+ answers for that.

Answer 5

I liked what @Calviղ had answered, but it was actually a pseudo-pausing (as the setInterval() was using an if condition to call the function).

@Fernando Moceces had asked how to pause a time interval, and therefore I made this - https://code.sololearn.com/WucXxBbauJ50/#js

Answer 7

I think it is better for you to use a recursive setTimeout function

maybe clearInterval(); setTimeout(); setInterval();🤔

Answer 9

let ps=true;
let c=0;

function pause(){

ps=false;

c=0;
}
}
