    While loop timer

    Hi,

    I am trying to program a 5 second loop timer that resets back to 5 after reaching 0. I have tried but my code gets cannot loop back to 5?
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    
    
    int main()
    {
        int start = 5;
    
    
    
    
        while(start > -1)
        {
          if (start != 0)
          {
            printf("%d\n",start);
            start--;
            sleep(1);
          }
          else
          {
            start = 5;
            continue;
          }
    
    
    
    
        }
    
    
        return(0);
    }

    This code works. Why would you think it doesn't? Do you properly compile it before you run it? You may be running some old version of the executable.
