how do i incorporate a timer

[upandatom]

would i use a case statment or just a counter?

[cycro1234]

code:

var startTime:int:=Time.Sec var endTime:int:= 120 %put time in secondes to run var curent:int loop     curent := Time.Sec  - startTime     put curent     exit when curent >= endTime end loop

Theres a code for a small timer.

so if i wanted a program to close after 30 seconds do i for count or ?

[cycro1234]

Change the part where it says 120 seconds to 30 seconds.

here's my code



var random3:int
randint(random3,1,3)
var answer : int
var random : int
var random2 : int
var reply:string
loop
randint (random, 1, 12)
randint (random2, 1, 12)


put random ,"*",random2
get answer
if answer = random * random2 then
put "Caught it"
else
put "Wrong, deducting money"
end if
end loop

i want the thing to end after 30 seconds and the seconds have to be displayed

So try adding the counter, with the 30 seconds limit, inside the loop.

lol i triiied bu tthen i have to wait for the 30 seconds before it starts asking questions or the timer doesnt show at all

Better?

code:

var random3 : int var startTime : int := Time.Sec var endTime : int := 30 var current : int randint (random3, 1, 3) var answer : int var random : int var random2 : int var reply : string var random3 : int var startTime : int := Time.Sec var endTime : int := 30 var current : int randint (random3, 1, 3) var answer : int var random : int var random2 : int var reply : string loop     current := Time.Sec - startTime     locate (1, 1)     put current     randint (random, 1, 12)     randint (random2, 1, 12)     put random, "*", random2     loop         locate (3, 1)         get answer         if answer not= random * random2 then             put "Wrong, deducting money"             locate (3, 1)             put "       "             locate (5, 1)             put "         "         else             locate (3, 1)             put "        "             locate (4, 1)             put "                "             put "Caught it"             exit         end if     end loop     exit when current >= endTime end loop

Disregard the double code.
