Public Member Functions

 EZ_DECLARE_POD_TYPE ()
 
EZ_ALWAYS_INLINE constexpr ezTime ()=default
 The default constructor sets the time to zero.
 
EZ_ALWAYS_INLINE constexpr bool IsZero () const
 Returns true if the stored time is exactly zero. That typically means the value was not changed from the default.
 
EZ_ALWAYS_INLINE constexpr bool IsNegative () const
 Checks for a negative time value.
 
EZ_ALWAYS_INLINE constexpr bool IsPositive () const
 Checks for a positive time value. This does not include zero.
 
EZ_ALWAYS_INLINE constexpr bool IsZeroOrNegative () const
 Returns true if the stored time is zero or negative.
 
EZ_ALWAYS_INLINE constexpr bool IsZeroOrPositive () const
 Returns true if the stored time is zero or positive.
 
constexpr float AsFloatInSeconds () const
 Returns the time as a float value (in seconds).
 
constexpr double GetNanoseconds () const
 Returns the nanoseconds value.
 
constexpr double GetMicroseconds () const
 Returns the microseconds value.
 
constexpr double GetMilliseconds () const
 Returns the milliseconds value.
 
constexpr double GetSeconds () const
 Returns the seconds value.
 
constexpr double GetMinutes () const
 Returns the minutes value.
 
constexpr double GetHours () const
 Returns the hours value.
 
constexpr void operator-= (const ezTime &other)
 Subtracts the time value of "other" from this instances value.
 
constexpr void operator+= (const ezTime &other)
 Adds the time value of "other" to this instances value.
 
constexpr void operator*= (double fFactor)
 Multiplies the time by the given factor.
 
constexpr void operator/= (double fFactor)
 Divides the time by the given factor.
 
constexpr ezTime operator- (const ezTime &other) const
 Returns the difference: "this instance - other".
 
constexpr ezTime operator+ (const ezTime &other) const
 Returns the sum: "this instance + other".
 
constexpr ezTime operator- () const
 
constexpr bool operator< (const ezTime &rhs) const
 
constexpr bool operator<= (const ezTime &rhs) const
 
constexpr bool operator> (const ezTime &rhs) const

Detailed Description

The time class encapsulates a double value storing the time in seconds.

It offers convenient functions to get the time in other units. ezTime is a high-precision time using the OS specific high-precision timing functions and may thus be used for profiling as well as simulation code.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AsFloatInSeconds()

constexpr EZ_ALWAYS_INLINE float ezTime::AsFloatInSeconds ( ) const
constexpr

Returns the time as a float value (in seconds).

Useful for simulation time steps etc. Please note that it is not recommended to use the float value for long running time calculations since the precision can deteriorate quickly. (Only use for delta times is recommended)
