Java script time parameter

Sat Nov 10, 2012 12:23 am

I was wondering if any one knew how to make my code on math questions so that it would stop after a certain amount of time. For instance the user keeps on having questions asked until 30 seconds pass by.

Code:: //this is my function for random numbers// var random = function(least,most){ return Math.floor(Math.random()*most + least); }; //end of function// var c; var score=0; confirm("New game"); console.log("new game"); var added = ""; for(c=1;c<=10;c++){ var num1=random(1,10); var num2=random(1,10); if(parseInt(prompt(added +"What is"+num1+"+"+num2+"?"))===(num1+num2)){ score++; added="corect. You have "+score+" points "; } else{ added="wrong You have "+score+" points "; }

**Note this is only in JS

You can use setTimeout function to sleep the thread for some time :

i used it in this example
