Questions

I don't understand why the requirements are structured the way they are.

• The button label is "Stop Alarm", but the function called is pauseAlarm(), not stopAlarm(), and all it does is pause the audio track, it doesn’t actually stop the alarm. Why?

In the Extra Tasks section, it says:

Could you add pause functionality so that the countdown stops and then you restart it later?

This is confusing, because “pause” normally means to temporarily suspend the timer, not to stop it completely. Yet, the instruction says “countdown stops and then restart it later”, which sounds more like stopping and restarting from the beginning rather than pausing and resuming.

I think it would make more sense like this:

• The Start Alarm button starts the timer, then renames itself to Pause, which temporarily suspends the timer and renames itself to Resume to continue the countdown.
• The Stop Alarm button completely stops the timer.

Your alarm clock app works. Basically the core functionality the alarm clock should have works, and I have to commend you for attempting the extra tasks. One thing i noticed is when I click the stop alarm button, the screen keeps on blinking. But still a good work!
