11,056 PointssetTimeout() loop inside function?
I tried using setTimeout() inside the tickClock() function to accomplish the same thing:
function tickClock() {
clockSection.textContent = getTime();
setTimeout(tickClock, 1000);
}
tickClock();
It seems to work fine but are there any issues with this approach that I should be aware of?
