If you modify updateTimeDisplay() to take a parameter, you could call updateTimeDisplay(0) and updateTimeDisplay(remainingTime) without sharing remainingSeconds in the outer/global scope.
You can declare remainingSeconds as a local variable in setAlarm().

Best practice is to avoid sharing variables through outer or global scope.

Designing a function to take input through parameters can also improve the reusability of the function.

Question: Can you elaborate the need to call updateTimeDisplay() on line 34 to "Ensure the display shows exactly 00:00"? Doesn't the function call on line 26 already display "00:00" when remainingTime reaches zero?

Yes, the first updateTimeDisplay() already shows 00:00 when the timer ends.
The second one was only added as a backup, just in case something went slightly wrong with timing.
Having said that, I can see that in a clean implementation it is redundant and not strictly necessary. Thank you.

playAlarm();
}
}, 1000);
}

// Converts remainingSeconds into MM:SS format and updates the display
function updateTimeDisplay() {
const minutes = Math.floor(remainingSeconds / 60);

const seconds = remainingSeconds % 60;

const formattedMinutes = minutes.toString().padStart(2, "0");
const formattedSeconds = seconds.toString().padStart(2, "0");

const timeDisplay = document.getElementById("timeRemaining");
timeDisplay.textContent = `Time Remaining: ${formattedMinutes}:${formattedSeconds}`;
}
