Hi,
Under 'Cancelling a Timeout' in the teachers notes, should the 'intervalID' variable not be calling the setInterval function rather than 'clearInterval?.

The "clearInterval" function cancels and interval, and you pass it the ID.
If you have a question about something on a particular course page, please include a link to the page.

11,985 PointsApologies Steven, I though it would link when I asked the question. I mean here:

Under 'Cancelling a Timeout' in the teachers notes, the initial function is declared as a 'clearInterval', not a 'setInterval'.
