Your Own Timer

Change the count.

Make Your OWN Timer! ⏲️

Hi time wizard! 🌟 You learned how countdowns work with setTimeout. ⏲️

Now YOU control the clock! 🎛️ Let's build your very own countdown timer! 🚀

setTimeout waits a little, then does something! ⏳

The number is the wait time in milliseconds. 1000 = 1 second! ⏱️

setTimeout(function() {
  console.log('Time is up! ⏰');
}, 1000);
