I have an requirement to fire an method every 25 minutes. so for that I am using

  var myVar = setInterval(function () { myTimer() }, 60000);

So, I am curious to know the limit I can pass to this method. Some Blogs say Infinity. But how can it be possible because it is upto the type of data we declare and I even not know what type does setinterval take. Usually a java script has not an int or string or something. It just have this.

var dd=66666

so, coming back to my question, if I have to call a function after every 25 minutes, then I will have to change the above line as::

var myVar = setInterval(function () { myTimer() }, 1500000);

So, passing such a big amount can actually create a problem in executing the functionality? Please guide

Nope. It will be called for every 25minutes – Linga Mar 01 '14 at 04:56

for readability point of view, i suggest use it like `var timer = new Number(25);` and then `timer * 60 * 1000` in `setTimeout` block; – Rohit416 Mar 01 '14 at 05:08
