🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

stop_stopwatch(name:string)

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one arg, no drama. ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• name — the stopwatch name, literally just the name of the stopwatch you wanna stop. that's the girl. 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so you call this and it stops the stopwatch called name. that's the main character moment right there. 🛑

and here's the lil plot twist, no cap: if that stopwatch doesn't currently exist, it creates it. like, it just makes one. it will not be stopped by the fact that there's nothing to stop. 💀✨
