Timer

[[Flame][Boy]]

Hey ive come up with this simple timer code but the only thing i cant figure out is why it isnt exiting at 0. Anyone know whats going on?

code:

var counter : int := 5 loop     locate (1, 1)     put counter - round (Time.Elapsed / 1000)     exit when Time.Elapsed = 0 end loop

You have to understand that Time.Elapsed is a predefined Turing command. Thus, you cannot edit by performing an operation on it. Rather, you must declare a variable and store all the operations you do to Time.Elapsed in it.

code:

var counter : int := 5 var endStatement : int loop     locate (1, 1)     endStatement := counter - round (Time.Elapsed / 1000)     put counter - round (Time.Elapsed / 1000)     exit when endStatement = 0 end loop

Time.Elapsed will never be 0 but counter - round (Time.Elapsed / 1000) will be at some point

Sorry about the double post. Gah can someone delete the second one.
