Question
**Countdown Timer Function**

**Overview:**
Create a function that takes one parameter, `int num`, and prints a countdown timer with minutes and seconds separated by a colon (:). It should print out one line per second and pause for one second before continuing to the next line. After completing the countdown, the function should call a special function `ringAlarm()` to sound an alarm.

**Key Points to Consider:**
- Use the function `sleepytime()` to make the program pause for one second.
- Use the function `ringAlarm()` to trigger an alarm sound.
- The countdown starts from `num` minutes and 0 seconds, ending at 0 minutes and 0 seconds.
- The function signature should be as follows:

  ```c
  void timer(int num)
  ```

**Note:**
You are not required to implement the `main()` function to demonstrate this functionality.

**Expected Output:**

For a function call with `num` equal to 10, the output should look like this:

```
10:0
9:59
9:58
// ...continue counting down...
9:1
9:0
8:59
8:58
// ...continue counting down...
0:2
0:1
0:0
```

Each line represents the countdown time in the format of `minutes:seconds`, decrementing every second. The function will reach all the way down to `0:0`, and then the alarm will sound.
