Timer script not perfectly working

Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I have a script that makes a countdown timer but I have a problem with it. Here’s my code:
Variable declaration:

public float Seconds;
public float Minutes;

In Update():

		if(Seconds <= 0){
			Seconds = 59;
			if(Minutes >= 1){
				Minutes --;
			}
			else{
				Minutes = 0;
				Seconds = 0;
			}
		}
		else{
			Seconds -= Time.deltaTime;
			if(Mathf.Round (Seconds) <= 9){
				timerText.text = timerText.text = "Mission time: " + Minutes.ToString () + ":0" + Seconds.ToString("f1");
			}
			else{
				timerText.text = timerText.text = "Mission time: " + Minutes.ToString () + ":" + Seconds.ToString("f1");
			}
		}

Now, my problem with this code is the transitions. When it reaches 1:01 instead of going to 0:59 it goes from 1:00 to 0:59 to 0:58 really fast since it does the 1:00 for half a second then 0:59 the other half.

Also, when it reaches 0:10, instead of going directly to 0:09.xx it goes 0:9.xx for a few milliseconds.

Anyone can help me fix those two issues? Or is my code just to scrap and redo anew for what I want it to do?

I will write for you a small example of the timer. The main thing - attention to the string.Format function:

 public float min = 1; //other value
 public float sec = 25; //value from 0 to 59
 private string texttimer = "";

 void Start() {
  texttimer = string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", min, sec);
  //here, for example, 0:00, where 0 - number value of list argument - min
  //and 00 - count sign of value
 }

 void Update() {
  sec = sec - Time.deltaTime;
  if(sec < 0) {
   min = min - 1.0f;
   sec = 59.0f;
  }
  if(min >= 0) { //time is over?
   texttimer = string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", min, sec);
  }
 }
