Bet you can't...

I'm looking for an app that can count to x number in y time. Is anyone familiar with something like that?

[Heathy]

you mean a stopwatch?

[Kujako]

I think what he's asking for is an "app" (no idea what platform) that can be set to count to a given value over a given amount of time, making the intervals between iterations variable.

So, a metronome? Combined with a stopwatch?

Really just a metronome. It's just that all the ones I've seen are standardized to count in beats per minute. So if you want to use some other arbitrary interval, you'd have to do some math to convert to beats per minute.

Simple math.

Or a couple lines of code to do it for arbitrary intervals smaller than a metronome can do.

I say "app," but really just any piece of Windows software or mobile app (let's say Android) that can count to a certain number in a given time period. For example, let's say I want it to count from 0 to 1000 in the space of 6 hours.

Is this a homework project?

[Blueobelisk]

I could make that. I'm at school though and ehhhh. Seems like a hassle to have to make a WinForm for it. Actually I could probably generate an Android app pretty quickly.

What's it for? I'd consider making one to put on app store if it truly doesn't exist.

Btw thread title was bad and you should feel bad for attracting people that way.

I'm starting to think it is. And the question/problem is "how often do you need to do X so you can do it 1000 times in 6 hours?".

And this is the way he thought of solving the problem, instead of just calculating it.

[Kujako]

Just use javascript and seIinterval(). http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_timing.asp

You would just need to calculate the iteration time in milliseconds. So if you want to count to 100 over 6 seconds that would be 6000 milliseconds divided by 100.

x=0;
window.setInterval(x++,60);

[Moonfaxx]

This is not a homework project. It's more something I thought of, and I'd be shocked if it didn't already exist. I am not a programmer, however.

Here's my napkin VBA version:

Dim dur as Int
Dim num as Int
Dim interval as Double
Dim counter as Int

counter = 0

InputBox("Please enter the duration required in seconds:") = dur
InputBox("Please enter the whole number you wish to count to:") = num

Interval = dur / num

Do While counter <= num
counter = counter + 1
Debug.Print(counter)
Application.Wait(Now + TimeValue(interval))
Loop
