Answer» setTimeout/clearTimeout – This is used to implement DELAYS in code execution. setInterval/clearInterval – This is used to run a code block multiple times. SETIMMEDIATE/clearImmediate – Any FUNCTION passed as the setImmediate() argument is a callback that's executed in the NEXT iteration of the event loop. process.nextTick – Both setImmediate and process.nextTick appear to be doing the same thing; HOWEVER, you may prefer one over the other depending on your callback’s urgency.
