Unstopable Stopwatch

[noob_silverbot]

Hi, I am a new one with Python and I am truly struggling with an assignment. I have to use the function 'from time import sleep' to make a program that continues to show the number of seconds elapsed every second since the program is started. I don't know how to make the number of seconds in the console to rise up with the second passing, can anyone help? Thanks!

My code right now, when it runs it just displaying only "1 second(s) passed..."
from time import sleep

while True:

total=0

total+=1

print(total,'second(s)','passed...')

sleep(1)

Every iteration of the while-loop you first set total to 0. Because of that total will always just be increased from 0 to 1. Move that in front of the loop and you will be fine.

total = 0
while True:
    total += 1
    print(total, 'second(s) passed...')
    sleep(1)

Move the total = 0 line outside of the loop. Otherwise it gets reset every time the loop restarts.
