Countdown Timer…Don't know where to start

July 28, 2022

I am very very new to python and I am trying to make a simple timer app with it.
So if I input a number, like 30, the code should start counting down and output

>>> 30
>>> 29
>>> 28
>>> 27

and so on..

I am trying to get some logic into my brain. I was trying to do this since to days with same code in different places.

import time

x = input("seconds to blast off: ")
for z in range(x):
    timer.sleep(x)
print("blast off")

This is all I have written and I am stuck here.

>Solution :

Try this:

import time

sec = int(input('No. of seconds: '))
print(sec)

for s in range(sec):
    sec = int(sec) - 1
    time.sleep(1)
    if sec == 0:
        print("Blast Off")
    else:
        print(str(sec))

You got quite close to the solution.
timer.sleep() takes in the number of seconds.
Although, you could have found such answers on the web.
