my modified timer program

[John Salerno]

Ok, I made some changes and want to see what you guys think, as far as
syntax and logic, etc. What I want it to do is show the number of
minutes remaining each minute, and then beep at the end. Is there a
better way to do the loops?



using System;
using System.Threadin g;

class Timer
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write(" Enter the number of minutes to wait: ");
int iTime = Int32.Parse(Con sole.ReadLine() );

for (int i = iDelay; i > 0; i--)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("{0} minute(s) remaining.", i);
Thread.Sleep(60 000);
}

Console.Write(" {0} minutes have elapsed", iTime);

for (int i = 3; i > 0; i--)
{
Console.Write(" \a");
Thread.Sleep(10 00);
}
}

So, what's iDelay? And what exactly is the use of this application?

Sorry, iDelay should be iTime. The point of the program is just for me
to experiment with writing code a little, but it's also a little alarm I
wanted to make.
