Time Strings¶

Often when tracking the progress of long-running code, it is useful to be able to access the current time, and convert a time in seconds into a more easily human readable format.

PrintCurrentTime¶

inline std::string JSL::CurrentTime()¶

Get current system time in a readable format (note: was previously called PrintCurrentTime)

Returns:: A string of the readable format

FormatDuration¶

inline std::string JSL::FormatDuration(int timeInSeconds)¶

Given a duration in seconds, convert it into standard Day/Hour/Minute/Second formatted string. Times less than 1 second are reported as “less than 1 second”

Parameters:: timeInSeconds – The time to be converted
Returns:: A human-readable string equal to the input

FormatClock¶

inline std::string JSL::FormatClock(std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::system_clock> start, std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::system_clock> end)¶

Calls FormatDuration() on the duration of the start and endpoints of a chrono stopwatch.

Parameters:

start – A chrono object representing the start of the duration
end – The corresponding end-point chrono
