Installation

Follow these steps to get the Counter App up and running on your local machine.

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/counter-app.git

2. Navigate to the project directory

   cd counter-app

3. Install dependencies

   npm install

4. Start the development server

   npm run dev

Vite will launch the app in your default browser at http://localhost:5173.

Usage

1. Start/Stop: Click the 'Start' button to begin timing, and the same button will turn into 'Stop' when the timer is running.
2. Pause/Resume: Pause the stopwatch by pressing the 'Stop' button and resume with 'Start'.
3. Reset: Reset the timer to zero by clicking the 'Reset' button.

How It Works

The Counter App uses React's state management to control the stopwatch functionality. When the 'Start' button is pressed, the app starts counting time using setInterval(), and when paused or stopped, it clears the interval. Time is displayed in real-time by continuously updating the state.

Functionality Overview:

• Start Timer: Initializes the timer using a setInterval function, updating every 100 milliseconds.
• Pause Timer: Stops the interval without resetting the elapsed time.
• Reset Timer: Clears the interval and resets the state to the initial value of 00:00:00.
