How to insert a timer (seconds)

[hq78]

Hello, I would like to know if anyone here knows how to add a timer in a loop in seconds. Thanks in advance!

There sure is a way to do it Time.Elapsed.

code:

loop     locate (1, 1)     put Time.Elapsed / 1000 : 6 : 3, " seconds have passed since this program began."     if Time.Elapsed / 1000 > 10 then         locate (2, 1)         put "That's a long time.  Hop to it!"     end if end loop

Note that Time.Elapsed returns a value in milliseconds. Thus, divide that value by 1000 to get a value in seconds.

doesnt time.elapsed measure cpu time not actual time?

Im pretty sure its the actual length of time since starting the program.

The Time.Elapsed function returns the amount of time since a program (process) started running. The number of milliseconds since the program started running is returned.

Well. Nope. It's just that it's not always accurate.

As Delos said, it varies from CPU to CPU.
