Clocks
This lesson gives a brief introduction to clocks and their usage in C++ with the help of interactive examples.
We'll cover the following...
The fact that there are three different types of clocks begs the question: What are the differences?
-
std::chrono::system_clock: is the system-wide real time clock (wall-clock). The clock has the auxiliary functions
to_time_tandfrom_time_tto convert time points into calendar time -
std::chrono::steady_clock: is the only clock to provide the guarantee that you can not adjust it. Therefore,
