When the countdown reaches 00:00, there is a one second delay before the alarm sound is played. Is this by design?

At line 25, when timeRemaining changes from 1 to 0, the app only changes the display to 00:00. It's only in the next interval, the code on lines 17-22 is executed.


function setAlarm() {
const setTime = document.getElementById("alarmSet").value;

const numericTime = parseInt(setTime, 10);
if (isNaN(numericTime)) {
alert(
"Please enter your desired time in numbers, e.g., 120 for 2 minutes."
);
return;
}
if (numericTime < 0) {
alert("Please enter a non-negative number.");
return;
}

timeRemaining = numericTime;

if (timerInterval) {
clearInterval(timerInterval);
}

The countdown interval is not the only state to be reset.

Hint: a user may not click the "Stop" button first before starting a new count down.

You can also consider introducing a dedicated reset function to return the app to a clean initial state to help ensure consistency.

displayAlarm(timeRemaining);
timerInterval = setInterval(decreaseAlarmTime, 1000);
}

var audio = new Audio("alarmsound.mp3");
