What will be executed first in Node.js/Javascript Event Loop among setInterval(()=>{}, 5000) and setTimeout(()=>{}, 5000)?

Question

Since both falls in the "Timers" phase of Event Loop in Javascript/Node.js -

let racer = function () {
  setInterval(() => { console.log('Interval is here') }, 2000);
  setTimeout(() => { console.log('Timeout is here') }, 2000);
}

Just looking for initial order of execution of above code snippet?

Answer 1

W3C specification does not seem to indicate any priority between the list of active timeouts and the list of active intervals .

Therefore the execution order of your racer function depends on browser implementation.
