Usage
from Timer import Timer
timer = Timer() #Initialize the timer
#wash clothes for 5 seconds
timer.print_time() #Print the time elapsed since Initialization (in seconds)
#dry clothes for 3 seconds
timer.print_new_time() #Print the time elapsed since Initialization and reset the timer
#burn clothes for 10 seconds
print (str('Burnt clothes for ' + str(timer.get_time() + ' seconds.')))
Output
>>> 5
>>> 8
>>> Burnt clothes for 10 seconds.
