Building a Countdown Timer in Swift Using an Array of Int Values

Timers are an essential part of many applications, whether it's to track time for a quiz, manage session time, or simply offer users a countdown to an event. In this guide, we'll tackle an interesting problem: how to create a countdown timer in Swift that counts down from each integer value provided in an array. The user can input any number of values, and the timer will seamlessly transition from one value to the next until the array is exhausted.

Understanding the Problem

The primary goal is to implement a countdown timer that performs the following tasks:

Takes an array of integers provided by the user.

Counts down from each integer to zero, displaying the progress on the screen.

Automatically moves to the next integer in the array once the countdown reaches zero.

Stops when the last value in the array has counted down.

Breaking Down the Solution

To effectively build this solution, follow the structured steps below:

Step 1: Define the Variables

We first need to set up our array and some variables to manage the countdown process.

Step 2: Set Up the Timer

To manage the countdown, we create a timer using Timer.scheduledTimer. This method enables us to execute a block of code at regular intervals.

Step 3: Start the Timer

Finally, we need to activate the timer so that it begins counting down.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can create a dynamic countdown timer in Swift that seamlessly counts down from a series of user-defined values in an array. The timer handles transitions between countdowns gracefully and stops automatically when it reaches the end of the provided values.

Feel free to experiment with the values in the times array to see how the countdown behaves with different inputs!
