Write a function which takes one parameter int num, and prints out a countdown timer with minutes and seconds separated by a colon (:).  It should print out one line for each second elapsed and then pause one second before printing out the next line.  A few things to note: - You can assume that calling the function usleep(1000000) makes the program pause for one second - It should count down from num minutes:zero seconds to zero minutes:zero seconds - Your function must have the following signature: void timer(int num) You do not need to demonstrate calling this function from main().   You don't need to format the output nicely; the below is acceptable output for calling this function when minutes is 10: 10:0 9:59 9:58 …  9:1 9:0 8:59 8:58 … 0:2 0:1 0:0

1. Write a function which takes one parameter int num, and prints out a countdown timer with minutes and seconds separated by a colon (:).  It should print out one line for each second elapsed and then pause one second before printing out the next line.  A few things to note:

- You can assume that calling the function usleep(1000000) makes the program pause for one second

- It should count down from num minutes:zero seconds to zero minutes:zero seconds

- Your function must have the following signature:

void timer(int num)

You do not need to demonstrate calling this function from main().

 

You don't need to format the output nicely; the below is acceptable output for calling this function when minutes is 10:

10:0

9:59

9:58

… 

9:1

9:0

8:59

8:58

0:2

0:1

0:0
