Chapter 5 is called "Watch the Clock" and it introduces you to ways to get your computer to count to set delay loops. For example it takes your computer exactly 1 second to count from 1 to 460. Using this knowledge, you can program timers, or delays in your software, should you need them. The exercise in the book walks us through creating a 24 hour clock with hours, minutes and seconds.
