Python time library

How can I set the timer for my game(quize). Actually I want to set 5 seconds for user to tell me the input and if user didn't send an input during 5 seconds I will print gameover. And also if user send me the input in 5 seconds I will print(ok) if the answer is correct. My problem now is that I can't make the timer to check if the user enters the input in less than 5 seconds. it would always check it after get input or before that and the rule is that using time library!!

Fateme Biglari I believe what you are looking for is import time time.sleep(5.0) #set for 5 seconds

Fateme Biglari You can use time.sleep() method like this import time time.sleep(1) #pause for 1 sec print('printed after 1sec') But it will pause everything so you can use time.time to achieve same and also you can do something without any pause. from time import time cooldown = 5 start = time() while True: if (time()-start) >= cooldown: print(f"{cooldown} second reached") break print(f"untill {cooldown} second do something")
