Explanation

The document discusses how to create an alarm clock application in Python using Tkinter. It explains how to use modules like datetime, time, and winsound to get the current time, set an alarm, and play a sound. Functions are defined to get the current time, set an alarm time from user input, and check if the alarm time has been reached. The Tkinter module is used to build a GUI with labels and input boxes to set the alarm time and submit the input to start the clock.

Explanation:

• Tkinter module belongs to a standard library of GUI in Python. It helps us


to create a dialog box with any information that we want to provide or get
from the users.
• Datetime and time modules in python help us to work with the dates and
time of the current day when the user is operating python and to
manipulate it too.
• Winsound module provides access to the basic sound playing machinery
provided by Windows platforms. This is useful to generate the sound
immediately when a function is called.
• Define a function named as alarm() which takes the argument of
(set_alarm_timer).It contains a while loop with a Boolean function True
which makes the program automatic to work.
• time.sleep(1) halts the execution of the further commands given until we
get the time value from the user later in the code and returns the
background thread of the clock time going on at a regular interval.
• Get the current time using current_time which takes the argument
of datetime.datetime.now().
• now is used to print the time and date is used to print the current date
by string conversion using strftime().
• Define another function here named actual_time() which takes in the
user value for setting the alarm in the string format. The same argument of
(set_alarm_timer) as alarm before to execute the while loop which we
further use while making GUI.
• If loop suggests that if the user input time set_alarm_timer matches
with the while loop ongoing time now, the message is printed as” Time to
Wake up”.
• winsound.SND_ASYNC plays the system generated sound as soon the
condition satisfies, acting as a reminder for the alarm clock.
• To Initialize tkinter, we pass a command under the name clock as Tk().
• The dialog box has the title as DataFlair Alarm Clock with a geometry of
(400*200). We pass on the heading to mention the time format for 24
hours using time_format.
• The second heading is given above the user input boxes for the labeling to
be “Hour Min Sec” using addTime.
• Just to make the dialog box look funkier, adding another label as “when to
wake you up” using setYourAlarm.
• As we have already converted the current time in the string before (actual
time), the variables we initialize for the user input dialog boxes are
in StringVar().
• Finally make the input boxes such
as hourTime, minTime, and secTime which takes the entry of the time
the user wants to set the alarm on in 24-hour format.
• Submit takes the command of the defined function actual_time and
executes the clock as it acts as a set button to start the program.
• Clock.mainloop() is the basic and the last command was given to
compile all the previous commands with their basic settings of color, font,
width, axis, etc. and displays the window as soon as the program is run.
