jQuery - Trigger Click More Than Once

Question

New to jQuery, still learning a lot so I'm sorry if this is a silly question!

I'm able to Trigger a click, but I'd like to run the function over and over again so my carousel keeps rotating itself.

How would I do that?

Here's what I have so far:

setTimeout(function(){
    $('.next').trigger('click');
}, 500);

Thanks!

You can do this by replacing setTimeout with setInterval to keep repeating the click after the specified timeout.

setInterval(function(){
    $('.next').trigger('click');
}, 500);

Fair warning, while this will work, it's a terrible solution . It would be better to look for an API in your carousel, or add one to trigger a slide.
