Correct Answer: Timers allow you to execute code at a set time or repeatedly using an interval This is accomplished with the setTimeout, setInterval, and clearInterval functions The setTimeout(function, delay) function initiates a timer that calls a specific function after the delay; it returns an id value that can be used to access it later The setInterval(function, delay) function is similar to the setTimeout function except that it executes repeatedly on the delay and only stops when cancelled The clearInterval(id) function is used to stop a timer Timers can be tricky to use since they operate within a single thread, thus events queue up waiting to execute
