Detailed Description

\inmodule QtCore \reentrant

The QTime class provides clock time functions.

\compares strong

A QTime object contains a clock time, which it can express as the numbers of hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds since midnight. It provides functions for comparing times and for manipulating a time by adding a number of milliseconds. QTime objects should be passed by value rather than by reference to const; they simply package int.

QTime uses the 24-hour clock format; it has no concept of AM/PM. Unlike QDateTime, QTime knows nothing about time zones or daylight-saving time (DST).

A QTime object is typically created either by giving the number of hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds explicitly, or by using the static function currentTime(), which creates a QTime object that represents the system's local time.

The hour(), minute(), second(), and msec() functions provide access to the number of hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds of the time. The same information is provided in textual format by the toString() function.

The addSecs() and addMSecs() functions provide the time a given number of seconds or milliseconds later than a given time. Correspondingly, the number of seconds or milliseconds between two times can be found using secsTo() or msecsTo().

QTime provides a full set of operators to compare two QTime objects; an earlier time is considered smaller than a later one; if A.msecsTo(B) is positive, then A < B.

QTime objects can also be created from a text representation using fromString() and converted to a string representation using toString(). All conversion to and from string formats is done using the C locale. For localized conversions, see QLocale.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QTime() [1/2]

QTime::QTime ( )

inlineconstexpr

Constructs a null time object.

For a null time, isNull() returns true and isValid() returns false. If you need a zero time, use QTime(0, 0). For the start of a day, see QDate::startOfDay().

See also: isNull(), isValid()

Definition at line 219 of file qdatetime.h.

◆ QTime() [2/2]

QTime::QTime	(	int	h,
		int	m,
		int	s = 0,
		int	ms = 0 )

Constructs a time with hour h, minute m, seconds s and milliseconds ms.

h must be in the range 0 to 23, m and s must be in the range 0 to 59, and ms must be in the range 0 to 999.

◆ addMSecs()

QTime QTime::addMSecs ( int ms ) const

Returns a QTime object containing a time ms milliseconds later than the time of this object (or earlier if ms is negative).

Note that the time will wrap if it passes midnight. See addSecs() for an example.

Returns a null time if this time is invalid.

◆ addSecs()

QTime QTime::addSecs ( int s ) const

Returns a QTime object containing a time s seconds later than the time of this object (or earlier if s is negative).

Note that the time will wrap if it passes midnight.

Returns a null time if this time is invalid.

Example:

QTime n(14, 0, 0);                // n == 14:00:00
QTime t;
t = n.addSecs(70);                // t == 14:01:10
t = n.addSecs(-70);               // t == 13:58:50
t = n.addSecs(10 * 60 * 60 + 5);  // t == 00:00:05
t = n.addSecs(-15 * 60 * 60);     // t == 23:00:00

◆ currentTime()

QTime::currentTime ( )

static

Returns the current time as reported by the system clock.

Note that the accuracy depends on the accuracy of the underlying operating system; not all systems provide 1-millisecond accuracy.

Furthermore, currentTime() only increases within each day; it shall drop by 24 hours each time midnight passes; and, beside this, changes in it may not correspond to elapsed time, if a daylight-saving transition intervenes.
