# seconds
|
|
|
|
Get the amount of time counted by the timer in seconds.
|
|
|
|
The timer count begins from `0` when you program starts or is [reset](/reference/control/timer/reset). The number of seconds returned also includes milliseconds if there is a fractional part of a second too.
|
|
|
|
## Returns
|
|
|
|
* a [number](/types/number) that is the amount of time elapsed, in seconds, since the timer was started or reset.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Find out how many seconds go by between presses of the `down` button on the brick.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
brick.buttonDown.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
|
|
brick.showValue("DownButtonTime", control.timer1.seconds(), 1)
|
|
control.timer1.reset()
|
|
})
|
|
```
