I could not provide examples of the problem because there were none, as
the display was showing just the current time and nothing else happened
as I expected it to do according to the code.
The snippet of code you see is the code taken from the code of the said
project I linked to in my first post.
I only provided or posted it to show what should happen next after the
time was displayed.
