hi, i have a counter that counts down from 5 minutes. i have 2 separate displays: 1. minute display(which counts down every 60 seconds), 2. seconds display(which counts down from a minute i.e. 00, 59, 58 ....). what i cant figure out is how to make the second counter to restart at 00 after a minute has gone by. can anyone help me? thanks.

Why do you need two counters? Why not just have one counter counting the seconds? Assuming your counter variable is called
counter, each time the timer fires you increment it. To get the seconds and minutes try:int seconds = counter % 60;
int minutes = counter / 60;
