clock simulation in C++

[rheij]

Im having a problem in creating a program which simulate clock in c++, where you will input a number in terms of minutes and convert it into hours and the converted hours will be the basis for the simulation. where the output is a clock counting until it reach the number of hours converted. hope someone will help me...

Thank in advance....

Yours truly,

Sounds like you need to learn the modulo operator '%' in c++. Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

Well I'm working on a clock too.

Working with time.h here is some pseudocode

global variables: flag = 0, start_time = 0, end_time = 0

button_click_function()
if flag = 0
start_time = clock()
flag = 1
else
end_time = clock()
flag = 0


so this works fine. clicking on a button captures an initial time point, click on the button again grabs an end point. i can subtract the two time values to see how much time is elapsed

my end goal is to simulate a digital clock. i'm not sure if i'm on the right track here. my next step has been working on udpating a textfield with the current time.

my pseudo code is

while(flag != 0) //while timer is still going
textfield = elapsed time //clock() - start_time

judging from the fact that my prog is now crashing, i know i'm doing something fundamentally wrong, but i can't figure out what.

any ideas?
