How to delay for loop by 1 second in javascript?

Question

I am new at javascript. I want to create a for loop that iterate after 1 second.

for(sec=60;sec>0; sec--){
    document.write(sec);    
}

When i use above code, for loop print everything immediately.I want that for loop executes every 1 second. I know it can be done by using setInterval(); function but i don't know how to do it exactly. Please suggest me best solution how to do.

Then why won't you use `setInterval`? – Nisarg Shah Sep 30 '17 at 04:30 — Nisarg Shah, Sep 30 '17 at 04:30

You can use setInterval to run at every 1 second, and then use clearInterval to prevent any further executions once the count is 60.

var count = 1;

var interval = setInterval(function() {
  
  console.log("Count: " + count);
  
  if(count == 60)
  {
    clearInterval(interval);
  }
  else 
  {
    count++;
  }
},1000);

can't it be done in for loop? – user3388450 Sep 30 '17 at 04:35
