设置超时和清除超时

Question

i need to restart a setTimeout after stopping it with a clearTimeout the code is like:

function start(){timeout = setTimeout(function(){...}, 1000}
function increment(){interval();}
function stop(){clearTimeout(timeout)}

better explained: function start() is a timeout of 1000ms for another function that recall start() . function increment() just add +1 to a value every 1000s but it doesn't matter with the problem. the last function stop() stops the setTimeout in the function start() . i need to stop the setTimeout in start() for just 1000ms and then let it continue working.

Answer 1

ok.... i "avoid" the problem.... i need to stop the setTimeout for 1000ms and then let it works normally... i tried so... instead of pausing the setTimeout I put another time var.

 var time = 1000;
    var timecache = 1000;
    fatica = 3000;
    sudore = 3000;
    function interval() { timeout = setTimeout(increment, time);} //here setTimeout uses var time//
    function increment(){console.log(time);point += 1;document.getElementById("pul").value = point;interval();}
    function fermafatica() {time = timecache;setInterval(ferma, fatica);} //here the function equals time to timecache so vas time is always 1000ms//
    function ferma(){time = 10000; setTimeout(fermafatica, sudore);} // then here I transformed the time in 10000 so the first function will take 10000 instead of 1000 in setTimeout//
//plus i put a setTimeout to recall function fermafatica() that reset the time to 1000//

this i what i want... I avoid the problem and found another way to do that... but it works... thank you anyway
