Javascript Execution Time Out
I'm having problems with the while loop - everytime I think I got it, theres an Execution Timed Out error message. This is the exercize: Write a program-timer, that will take the count of seconds as input and output to the console all the seconds until timer stops. This is my code: function main() { var seconds = parseInt(readLine(), 10) // Your code here var i = 0 while (i <= 24){ console.log(i); i=seconds-1; } }

infinite loop... until your input is greater than 25...
you update i value with seconds-1 wich is constant ^^
you should test while (i <= seconds) and increment i:
function main() {
var seconds = parseInt(readLine(),10);
var i = 0;
while (i < seconds) {
console.log(i),
++i;
}
}

Since i=0, and i<=24 is always true, because seconds values not changing ,hence i = seconds-1 is also always same. So while loop becomes infinite loop.. so you get time out...

This is an infinite loop. The program never ends executing.
Suppose seconds variable is 10. i will always be 9. And 9 is less than 24, making the condition is always true and thus infinite loop occurs.

Thank you guys!
I tried visph code and I don't get an error code now which is nice...though is there a way to count down from the input number instead of count up from 0?

yes: you could avoid i and use input (seconds):
while (0 <= seconds) {
console.log(seconds);
--seconds;
}

function main() {
var seconds = parseInt(readLine(), 10)
// Your code here
while(seconds>=0){
console.log(seconds)
seconds --
}
}

Thank you so much, I got it!

function main() {
var seconds = parseInt(readLine(), 10)
// Your code here
while (seconds>=0){
console.log(seconds); seconds--; } }

Any remarks? This outcome seems to work too...
function main() {
var seconds = parseInt(readLine(), 10)
var i = 0
// Your code here
while (i<=seconds){console.log (seconds--)}
}

function main() {
var seconds = parseInt(readLine(), 10)
// Your code here
var i=0;
while(i<=seconds){
console.log(seconds);
--seconds;
}
