I just want to ask if i can run a timer at the same time with my program? It is like a quiz bee, i'm asking questions and there is a specific time to finish answering. Thank you!

You can set a timer to generate an interrupt. It will happily run until it expires. In your code for the quiz, if the quiz finishes without the timer triggering the interrupt, then you can cancel it. What OS are you programming this on? Some timer types are not supported by the MS compilers that are on Linux. If you need more help, just holler. If this is a class exercise, please try to solve it first (you at least now have a hint), and then we will help you sort it out.
