I've encountered an issue with the script where I am unable to loop back to the first element once all child elements have been traversed.

Here is the jQuery code snippet:
$(document).ready(function() {
var length = $("#tips li").length;
var old = 0;
function show() {
var news = getRan();
$("#tips li").hide();
$("#tips li:nth-child(" + news + ")").fadeIn("fast");
old++;
};
function getRan() {
var news = old + 1;
if (news < length) {
return news;
} else {
var news = 0 + 1;
return news;
old++;
}
};
show();
$("#something").html(length);
setInterval(show, 1000);
});#tips,
#tips li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#tips {
width: 250px;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 120%;
}
#tips li {
padding: 20px;
background: #e1e1e1;
display: none;
}
.active {
opacity: 1;
}<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul id="tips">
<li>... if you want to become a better coder you need to eat your vegetables?</li>
