adding a callback to a for loop

Question

I am trying to get jQuery to remove an element after it as run through a cycle of other functions, but following code block executes the remove() before it has run any of the for loop.

function waves(){
    for(i=0;i<=10;i++){
            wave(x);
    };
    $(x).remove();
}

What does Wave function do? Where is x defined. Can you post that? — ShankarSangoli

this may be a really dumb question, but why do you have a semi-colon after the closing brace of the for-loop? — whoabackoff

It seems, that the wave function is some kind of async function. It's interesting to see the full code — Alexander Yezutov

Add an if statement into your loop, that then calls your function.

function waves(){
    for(i=0;i<=10;i++){
            wave(x);
            if (i == 10) {
               callback();
            }
    };
}
function callback() {
    $(x).remove();
}
