javascript - Can clearInterval() be called inside setInterval()?

itemprop="text">

bigloop=setInterval(function
            () {
 var checked = $('#status_table tr [id^="monitor_"]:checked');

            if (checked.index()===-1 ||checked.length===0 || ){

            bigloop=clearInterval(bigloop);


            $('#monitor').button('enable');
 }else{

 (function
            loop(i) { 
 //monitor element at index i

            monitoring($(checked[i]).parents('tr'));
 //delay of 3 seconds

            setTimeout(function () {
 //when incremented i is less than the number of
            rows, call loop for next index
 if (++i < checked.length)
            loop(i);

 }, 3000);
 }(0)); //start with 0
 }
            
 }, index*3000); //loop
            period

I have the code
above and sometimes it is working, sometimes it is not. I am wondering if
the clearInterval actually clear the timer?? because there is this
monitor button that will only be disabled when it is in
monitoring function. I have another
clearInterval when an element called
.outputRemove is clicked. See the code
below:

//remove row entry in the
            table 
 $('#status_table').on('click', '.outputRemove', function ()
            {

 deleted= true;
 bigloop=
            window.clearInterval(bigloop);
 var thistr=$(this).closest('tr');

            thistr.remove();
 $('#monitor').button('enable');


            $('#status_table tbody tr').find('td:first').text(function(index){
 return
            ++index;

 });


            });

But it was enabled
for a while before it is disabled again. Will
clearInterval get the program out from the
setInterval function?

Answer

Yes you can. You can even test
it:

data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
class="snippet-code">

var i = 0;

var timer =
            setInterval(function() {
 console.log(++i);
 if (i === 5)
            clearInterval(timer);
 console.log('post-interval'); //this will still run
            after clearing
},
            200);

In
this example, this timer clears when i reaches
5.
