let count = 0
let myTimer;
// set timer
myTimer = setInterval(() => count = count + 1 , 1000)
// clear timer
clearInterval(myTimer)
Show the code of your timer so that I can describe the solution in more detail

Here is my timer code:var sec = 5; var timerID; document.getElementById("b1").onclick =function(){ timerID =setInterval(myTimer,1000); }; function myTimer() { document.getElementById("b1").onclick = function() { myTimer() } document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = sec + "sec."; sec--; if (sec <= -1) { clearInterval(timerID); document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML="Time's Up!"; } } – astroboyee Nov 19 '21 at 17:06

the document.getElementsByTagName gets the button and runs the function when clicked.
let timer;
let increment = 0;
timer = setInterval(() => increment++ , 1000)
//gets the button element and clears timer when clicked
document.getElementsByTagName("button").onclick = function() {
clearInterval(timer)
}
