How do i clear an interval (setInterval) created with the new ES6 approach?

Question

I'm trying to get this function cleared with the clearInterval but it's not working.

setInterval( ()=>{ funca(10,3); }, 500);

But when i use the clearInterval it doesn't stop printing the result.

Here's my code:

funca = function(a,b){console.log(a+b);}
setInterval( ()=>{ funca(10,3); }, 500);
clearInterval(funca);

It keeps printing as you can see: The code running in console

So, how can i do it?

this "new ES6 approach" doesn't change how long established functions work — Bravo, Jul 30 '21 at 12:18

setInterval returns a value. You should use this value as the parameter to clearInterval:

funca = function(a, b){ console.log(a + b); }
const intervalHandle = setInterval(() => { funca(10, 3); }, 500);
clearInterval(intervalHandle);
