setTimeout(), setInterval(), and requestAnimationFrame()

function animate() {
  requestAnimationFrame(animate);
  // animation code
}
animate();

It runs faster than setInterval
It synchronizes with the browser's render cycle
requestAnimationFrame is preferred because: 1) Synchronizes with browser's natural repaint cycle, 2) Pauses when tab is inactive, saving resources, 3) Automatically adjusts to screen refresh rate, 4) Prevents visual artifacts and frame skipping, 5) Better power efficiency on mobile devices, 6) More consistent frame timing for smooth animations.
It uses less memory
It's easier to implement
