+Like `setTimeout`, `setInterval` returns a Timeout object in Node.js (and a numeric ID in browsers). This object provides the same additional methods (`ref()`, `unref()`, and `refresh()`).

 It's common to call `clearInterval` inside the setInterval callback function, to let it auto-determine if it should run again or stop. For example this code runs something unless App.somethingIWait has the value `arrived`:

+`setTimeout` and `setInterval` are available in Node.js, through the [Timers module](https://nodejs.org/api/timers.html). In Node.js, these functions return a Timeout object that provides additional functionality for timer management.
 
 Node.js also provides `setImmediate()`, which is equivalent to using `setTimeout(() => {}, 0)`, mostly used to work with the Node.js Event Loop.
