True Myth / task/delay / exponential

Function: exponential() ​

exponential(options?): Generator<number>

Generate an infinite iterable of integers beginning with base and increasing exponentially until reaching Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, after which the generator will continue yielding Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER forever.

By default, this increases exponentially by a factor of 2; you may optionally pass { factor: someOtherValue } to change the exponentiation factor.

If you pass a non-integral value as base, it will be rounded to the nearest integral value using Math.round.

Parameters ​

options? ​

from? ​

number

Initial delay duration in milliseconds. Default is 1.

withFactor? ​

number

Exponentiation factor. Default is 2.

IMPORTANT

Setting this to a value less than 1 will cause the delay intervals to decay rather than increase. This is rarely what you want!

Returns ​

Generator<number>
