Exercise
Date and time continuous
Objetive
Create a program that shows the current time in the top-right corner of the screen with the format:
12:52:03
The program should pause for one second and then display the time again in the same location.
Example Code
// Import the necessary namespaces for working with date, time, and console operations
using System;
class Program
{
// Main method where the program execution starts
static void Main()
{
// Infinite loop to continuously display the time
while (true)
{
// Get the current time
string currentTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss"); // Formats the current time as HH:mm:ss (24-hour format)
// Move the cursor to the top-right corner of the console window
Console.SetCursorPosition(Console.WindowWidth - currentTime.Length - 1, 0); // Position at top-right corner
// Display the current time at the cursor position
Console.Write(currentTime); // Writes the current time to the console at the specified location
// Pause for 1 second before updating the time again
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000); // Pauses the program for 1000 milliseconds (1 second)
// Clear the previous time by moving the cursor back to the top-right corner and overwriting it
Console.SetCursorPosition(Console.WindowWidth - currentTime.Length - 1, 0); // Move to the same position
Console.Write(" "); // Clear the previous time by overwriting it with blank spaces
}
}
