How to assign array values one by one to setTimeout in javascript

Question

I want to insert array values after setTimeout() executes. At the beginning default value must be setTimeout(msg, 60000) after that, I want to insert arr values one by one after execution.

For example:

This is my Array arr=[2, 5, 8] at the beginning setTimeout(msg, 60000) after execution setTimeout(msg, arr[0]) after second execution setTimeout(msg, arr[1]) so on I need to add arr elements to the function. Please can I know solution for this problem?

Don't scream!

Just use a recursive timer:

  const times = [2, 5, 8];

  function next() {
    msg();
    if(times.length) setTimeout(next, times.shift() * 1000);
  }

 setTimeout(next, 6000);

@keith I guess he wants to insert arr[0] into setTimeout and so on, thats how I understood it

add the code to the question @sd_dewasurendra. it will make it easier for others to find a specific or generic solution to the problem at hand.
