How do i add a countdown timer function for examination on MVC framework using vs community.

Question

I am currently working on a project that features a question bank. The admins, can create quizzes and compiling questions from the question bank to assign to a specific quiz. my system also has a user log in whereby they will be able to log in and attempt the quizzes set by the admin. Currently, in the user role I want to be able to add a timer function to my quiz attempt view page for the users. When the timer runs out it will automatically execute the submit button. How do i go about doing it? Im thinking the timer function would fall under scriptsection in the attempt quiz view page? need help. TIA.

You would have to use Javascript for this. Here is an example count down

in this function in the w3school example

  if (distance < 0) {
    clearInterval(x);
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "EXPIRED";
  }

You can call the function that submits the quiz
