Hey guys we can use the ( timeOfDay) feature on turing to ecract the time from the computer into our program, however it stays the same it does not move forward like a clock. how do we make it into an actual fully operating clock? better yet an alarm clock thae need for a comp sci project? please and thank you lol |

Look into loops: http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/loop.html and delays: http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/time_delaysincelast.html
It appears as if this document: http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/time_date.html shows you how to get the time portion of the date, combine the 3 things I linked and you have a clock. |
