Well, duh. tw goes 1000, 999, 998 ..., 2, 1, 999, 998, 997..., 2, 1, 999, ... Why is tw=999 <b>inside</b> the while loop?

[Cruise Control]

TW is initialized to one. But all it does is print out the entered value 60 times.
;______________;

while (hours >= 0)

            while (tw<1000)
              {
               tw++;
               cout << hours << ":" << minutes << ":" <<seconds << "\n";

[Flying Mullet]

And don't forget to re-initialize "tw".

        while (seconds > 0)
        {
            while (tw<1000)
            {
               tw++;
               cout << hours << ":" << minutes << ":" <<seconds << "\n";
            }
            seconds=seconds-1;
            tw = 0;
        }

Thanks to you brilliant gents *checks Endless's profile*, I have it counting properly, and all I need to do is tweak the counter till it's in tune with a clock.

[Flying Mullet]

After you tweak it for the computer that you are programming on, you should try running the program on a computer that is either slower or faster than it. This will show you how much variance the computer's processing power will have on the time and if it will be noticable if someone else runs it on a different computer.

I had an infinite loop involving negative time when I first tried it on my own. I thought you'd find that humorous.

[Flying Mullet]

You've discovered how to go back in time!

[Cruise Control]

Wanna borrow it? BACK TO 1982!

[Flying Mullet]

Push it to the limit!

[Cruise Control]

Done. I'm off only by .5 of a second every minute, well within the range of 15% error. XD. I'm so uber. I really appreciate all your help.

[Mr. Wertz]

Im finished with it too.

IT SUCKS!

Nice job, it runs.

[Mr. Wertz]

it doesnt suck.

and if it does, then it doesnt matter because I found it anyway. LAWLZ.
