You can call clearInterval() after x calls:

var x = 0;

var intervalID = setInterval(function () {



   // Your logic here



   if (++x === 5) {

       window.clearInterval(intervalID);

   }

}, 1000);

To avoid global variables, an improvement of the above would be:

function setIntervalX(callback, delay, repetitions) {

    var x = 0;

    var intervalID = window.setInterval(function () {



       callback();



       if (++x === repetitions) {

           window.clearInterval(intervalID);

       }

    }, delay);

}

Then you can call the new setInvervalX() function as follows:

// This will be repeated 5 times with 1 second intervals:

setIntervalX(function () {

    // Your logic here

}, 1000, 5);
