Counter don't stop, SetInterval

I have this counter with setInterval which stops when more than a certain number .

The problem is that does not stop ?

Any ideas ?

Thank you 

jQuery( document ).ready(function() {


    var myVar = setInterval(crecer, 1);

    function crecer(){

        var y = 0;

        console.log(y);
        y++;

        if (parseInt(y) > 100){
            myStopFunction();
        }   
    }

    function myStopFunction() {
        clearInterval(myVar);
        console.log("entro");
    }

});

Each time you are calling your 'crecer' function after interval of 1ms, you are working in a new scope. Javascript has functional scoping for 'var' declaration. Try declaring 'y' outside function 'crecer'.

On each interval you're setting y to 0 again

Move y to be outside of the function block

var y = 0;
function crecer(){

    console.log(y);
    y++;

    if (parseInt(y) > 100){
        myStopFunction();
    }   
}
