The timeOfDay or time data type is an integer value representing the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight.

Range

The range of a timeOfDay data type is in the closed interval [0; 86400]. Values above 86400 (23:59:59) cannot be interpreted.

Declaring timeOfDay Variables

    //Declaration of a time variable, time1
    timeOfDay time1;
     
    //Declaration and initialization of a time variable to 00:21:35
    timeOfDay time2 = 1295;

Time Literals

timeOfDay variables can be used as literals in the same way as integers are used as literals.

Automatic Conversions

The same automatic conversions that are available for integers are also available for timeOfDay variables (Booleans, enums, and reals).

Using Times in Expressions

Any operations that can be performed with integers can also be performed with timeOfDay variables.
