## Window clearInterval Method

The 'clearInterval()' method is used to clear a timer set with the 'setInterval()' method.

```js
    clearInterval(setInteval_ID); 
```

To be able to use the 'clearInterval()' method, you must use a global variable.
```js
    myID = setInterval(function, milliseconds); 
```
