Question on timer

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Is this the way to let timer1 start counting.

TCNT1=1; //start timer1
#2

No, that just sets the counter to 1. It doesn't start anything.

Not sure I understand the question. INT0 is an external interrupt pin not related to a timer. There is an input capture facility for the Timers where an external pin can act as a clock source, but that’s unrelated to INT0.
