3 Time-of-Day

 (require gregor/time) package: gregor-lib

Gregor’s time struct represents a time-of-day, irrespective of date or time zone. As with Gregor’s date struct, the name time also conflicts with an existing, incompatible definition in racket/base. The situation here is somewhat different, however. While Gregor completely replaces the functionality offered by the built-in date, it does not replace that of the built-in time function, which is used for measuring the time spent evaluating programs.

To mitigate problems that might be caused by this conflict, Gregor does not provide time-related bindings from the gregor module. Instead, they are provided by the gregor/time module.

procedure

(time hour [minute second nanosecond]) → time?

  hour : (integer-in 0 23)
  minute : (integer-in 0 59) = 0
  second : (integer-in 0 59) = 0
  nanosecond : (integer-in 0 999999999) = 0
Constructs a time with the given hour, minute, second, and nanosecond values.

Note the contract on second; a time is unable to represent times that fall on added UTC leap-seconds. For a discussion of Gregor’s relationship to UTC, see Time Scale.

Examples:

> (time 1 2 3 4)

#<time 01:02:03.000000004>

> (time 0)

#<time 00:00:00>

> (time 12)

#<time 12:00:00>

procedure

(time? x) → boolean?

  x : any/c
Returns #t if x is a time; #f otherwise.

procedure

(time->iso8601 t) → string?

  t : time?
Returns an ISO 8601 string representation of t.

Examples:

> (time->iso8601 (time 1 2 3 4))

"01:02:03.000000004"

> (time->iso8601 (time 0))

"00:00:00"

> (time->iso8601 (time 12))

"12:00:00"

procedure

(time=? x y) → boolean?

  x : time?
  y : time?

procedure

(time<? x y) → boolean?

  x : time?
  y : time?

procedure

(time<=? x y) → boolean?

  x : time?
  y : time?

procedure

(time>? x y) → boolean?

  x : time?
  y : time?

procedure

(time>=? x y) → boolean?

  x : time?
  y : time?
Comparison functions on times.

Examples:

> (time=? (time 12 0 0) (time 12))

#t

> (time<? (time 1 30) (time 13 30))

#t

> (time>? (time 1 2 3 4) (time 1 2 3))

#t

value

time-order : order?

An order defined on times.

Examples:

> (time-order (time 12 0 0) (time 12))

'=

> (time-order (time 1 30) (time 13 30))

'<

> (time-order (time 1 2 3 4) (time 1 2 3))

'>

> (make-splay-tree time-order)
