📝 Description

We need a simple stopwatch app that allows users to start, stop, and reset a timer to track elapsed time.
This project helps practice timing functions, DOM manipulation, and event handling in JavaScript.


🎯 Requirements

  • Ability to start the timer
  • Ability to pause/stop the timer
  • Ability to reset the timer back to zero
  • Display elapsed time in minutes, seconds, and milliseconds

💡 Concepts to Demonstrate

  • Using setInterval() and clearInterval() for timing control
  • DOM manipulation to update the displayed time dynamically
  • Event handling for Start, Stop, and Reset buttons
  • Time calculation and formatting for readability

🚀 Bonus Challenge

  • Add a Lap feature to record and display multiple time splits
  • Include animations or sound cues when starting/stopping the timer
  • Store lap history temporarily using localStorage

📦 Deliverables

  • A working example using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • Include a short README or inline comments explaining how your code works
  • Submit your solution as:
    • A pull request in the examples/ folder, or
    • A CodePen, JSFiddle, or GitHub Gist link
