I dont understand what is wrong with our program, the loop does not execute. the timer continmues ticking and the "alarm" doesnt go off. what can i do to fix this? var code : string get code : 8 loop put Time.Date Time.DelaySinceLast (1000) cls put "the alarm is set for " + code if Time.Date = code then put "wake up" (here i would input a sound file as well) end if |

Compare your code variable to what is being written by Time.Date, what is the difference? They have to be exact matches for the if statement to be triggered, what can you do to make them match? |

changing the variable type? i tried putting this instead but it wouldnt work either 
var code : string (do i need an interger?) get code : 8 loop put Time.Date Time.DelaySinceLast (1000) cls put "the alarm is set for " + code if Time.DelaySinceLast (1000) = code then put "wake up" end if |

Firstly you shouldn't be comparing Time.DelaySinceLast(1000) to your variable. Secondly, you should take a look at this page here: http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/time_date.html Pay special attention to what each variable is being set to and try and figure out which one matches your input accurately. |
