 Renders a countdown timer that prints a message when it reaches zero.
 
 - The timer starts automatically with the initial value passed through the `props`
-- Each second, `tick()` is called. It updates the timer, decreasing the time by one second each time.
-- If the `pause` button is clicked, `tick()` refrains from updating the time until the `resume` button is clicked.
+- Each second, `tick()` is called. It updates the timer, decreasing the time by one second each time
+- If the `pause` button is clicked, `tick()` refrains from updating the time until the `resume` button is clicked
 - If the `restart` button is clicked, the timer starts over from step 1
 - If the time hits zero, the message 'Time's up!' is printed
