Class: TSeconds

Declaration: TimeClasses.h

Taxonomy Categories:

Member Functions:

Interface Category:

API.

Inherits From:

TTime

Inherited By:

None.

Purpose:

A TTime derived class for seconds.

Instantiation:

Allocate on the heap or the stack.

Deriving Classes:

Derived classes must preserve the TTime and TSeconds interfaces.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Resource Use:

No special requirements.

Member Function: TSeconds::TSeconds

TSeconds ()
TSeconds (double numberOfSeconds)
TSeconds (const TTime & theTime)
TSeconds (const TSeconds & theSeconds)

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Default constructor.
Initializes with the number of seconds.
Copy constructor for TTime and derived classes.
Copy constructor.

Calling Context:

Call this function directly.

Called by the stream-in operators and uninitialized objects.
Called to initialize with a number of seconds.
Called to copy a TTime or derived class.
Called to copy an object.

Parameters:

Takes no parameters.
double numberOfSeconds -The number of seconds to represent.
const TTime & theTime -The object to copy.
const TSeconds & theSeconds -The object to copy.

Return Value:

None.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

Can be safely type cast between TTime derived classes because no extra storage is added.

Member Function: TSeconds::~TSeconds

virtual ~ TSeconds ()

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Destructor.

Calling Context:

Call this function directly. Called to destroy an object.

Parameters:

Takes no parameters.

Return Value:

None.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

None.

Member Function: TSeconds::GetSeconds

double GetSeconds () const

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Gets the number of seconds represented.

Calling Context:

Call this function directly. Called to get a double of seconds.

Parameters:

Takes no parameters.

Return Value:

The seconds.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

Returns a double that could be a NaN, or positive or negative infinity, depending on the time.

Member Function: TSeconds::operator=

TSeconds & operator =(const TSeconds & theSeconds)

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Assignment operator.

Calling Context:

Call this function directly. Called when an object is assigned to another compatible object.

Parameters:

const TSeconds & theSeconds -The source object for the assignment.

Return Value:

A non-const reference to the left-hand side object.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

None.
