Cancelling a timer

package io.vertx.playground;
import io.vertx.core.Vertx;
public class CancellationExample {
    private static int counter = 0;
    public static void main(String... args) {
        Vertx vertx = Vertx.vertx();
        long timerId = vertx.setPeriodic(1000, id -> {
            System.out.println("Hello " + ++counter);
            if (counter == 2) {
                System.out.println("Cancelling task");
                vertx.cancelTimer(id);
            }
        });
    }
