How to make a counter that pretty much counts time and prints it in c++

Make it so it like prints: 0:01 or 1second 0:02 or 2seconds ... 1:25 or 1 minute 25 seconds

it was for testing. it can be any value. That value determines how many seconds it will run.

may be two loops may help one inside another but addition of the value is very fast so equivalent to a second is very hard to obtain

for(int i=0;i<60;i++){ for(int j=0;j<60;j++){ if(j>10) cout<<i<<":"<<j<<endl; else cout<<i<<":0"<<j<<endl; } }

is that accurate to real time? also why does this only output: 1 2 3 4 5 #include <iostream> #include <ctime> using namespace std; int main() { int timer = 0; int b = 0; while (timer<62) { b = 0; int x=time(0); int a=time(0); while (x<=a && !b==1) { a = time(0); if (x<a) { timer = timer+1; cout << timer << endl; b = 1; } } } }

I won't get accurate to real time as the program doesn't adds the variable one second at a time therefore it is hard to obtain a real time by the help of loop

use Sleep () from windows.h ... the number you input in sleep is the time it waits in milliseconds....

i got it nvm #include <iostream> #include <ctime> using namespace std; int main() { int timer = 0; int b = 0; int cancel = 0; int min = 0; while (cancel<122) /* 122 is how many seconds it will execute */ { b = 0; int x=time(0); int a=time(0); while (x<=a && !b==1) { a = time(0); if (x<a) { timer = timer+1; cancel = cancel + 1; if (timer < 60) { if (timer < 10) { cout << min << ":0" << timer << endl; } else { cout << min << ":" << timer << endl; } } else { min = min + 1; timer = timer % 60; if (timer < 10) { cout << min << ":0" << timer << endl; } else { cout << min << ":" << timer << endl; } } b = 1; } } } }
