Timer Application using PyQt5This tutorial will demonstrate how to build a timer application using PyQt5. A timer is indeed a special kind of clock that is used to measure certain time intervals; to use one, count downwards from the provided time until it equals zero. Steps for Implementing a GUI:- Make a push button that will activate a pop-up clock and configure its geometry.
- Produce a label to display the time and the completion status
- Centre the label's text and adjust the label's shape and font size.
- Design three push buttons: one to start the timer, one to pause it, and one to reset it.
- Adjust the button geometry.
Back-end Steps for Implementation:- Create a count variable and a flag to indicate whether the counter is running or not.
- Give each button a function.
- Get the value of the second using the input dialogue box within the acquire second button action, and set the flag to false.
- Make flag true inside of the start action but make if false if count is zero.
- Make the flag false inside the pause action.
- Inside the restore action, set the text to the label, the count value to zero, and the flag to false.
- Create an object called a timer that calls its function every 100 milliseconds.
- In the timer action, look for the flag, decrease the value of the count, and set the label's content.
