What variable should I use if I want to save time values?

Question

I want to make an app that adds 1 minutes and 25 seconds to a TimeLeft variable. Problem is I have no idea what type of variable this should be, or even how to add 1 minutes 25 seconds to the available time left. Any guidance would be much appreciated. I'm good with C#, but since I've never done something like, I'm in the dark.

Accepted Answer

I would suggest you use a `DateTime` variable. This will let you manipulate the time. If you want to add 1m 25s to a varible, you could simply use:

```
DateTime newTime = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(85);
```

That will add 85 seconds onto the current time (or, in your case, `TimeLeft` as long as the TimeLeft variable is also a DateTime type)
