Front End Engineering Problem

Write a function called makeSafeInterval(func,interval), which sets up an interval that executes func every interval seconds, stopping the first time func throws an error.

makeSafeInterval(func,interval) specs

• makeSafeInterval(func,interval) should take a function and interval (in ms) as arguments
• makeSafeInterval(func,interval) should return a function that can be called with additional arguments
• makeSafeInterval should execute func every interval seconds. HOWEVER, the first time func throws an error, it should stop.

Use Case Examples

let correctFx = (a)=>console.log(a);
let correctLogInterval = makeSafeInterval(correctFx,1000);
correctLogInterval('hi'); //logs 'hi' every second


let incorrectFx = (a)=>console.lg(a) //mispelled console.log, so will throw error;
let incorrectLogInterval = makeSafeInterval(incorrectFx,1000);
incorrectLogInterval('hi'); //rather than throw an error every second, logs "stopping interval" once and stops
