Re: How do you set up a time?

What "time thing" are you referring to? Are you talking about the timer?  hmm

Well, there are only to things you can do with the timer without creating more variables:
1) set it to zero
2) get the current value

If you use another variable, you can do things such as convert the timer so that it is displayed in hours, minutes, and seconds instead of just seconds.  You can also take a snap shot of the time for laps around a course or something like that.  You can also use something like: set (time left) to (round(100-(timer) ) ) to give a count down instead of a count up.

EDIT: I totally forgot to answer the question.  Go to sensing and find the to blocks timer and reset timer.
