Detailed Description

The QTime class provides clock time functions.

\inmodule QtCore \reentrant

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 170 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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ 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.

See also: addSecs(), msecsTo(), QDateTime::addMSecs()

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ 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:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ 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.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ fromMSecsSinceStartOfDay()

QTime QTime::fromMSecsSinceStartOfDay ( int msecs )

inlinestaticconstexpr

Returns a new QTime instance with the time set to the number of msecs since the start of the day, i.e. since 00:00:00.

If msecs falls outside the valid range an invalid QTime will be returned.

See also: msecsSinceStartOfDay()

Definition at line 196 of file qdatetime.h.

◆ hour()

int QTime::hour ( ) const

Returns the hour part (0 to 23) of the time.

Returns -1 if the time is invalid.

See also: minute(), second(), msec()

Definition at line 1767 of file qdatetime.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ isNull()

bool QTime::isNull ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns true if the time is null (i.e., the QTime object was constructed using the default constructor); otherwise returns false. A null time is also an invalid time.

See also: isValid()

Definition at line 174 of file qdatetime.h.

◆ isValid() [1/2]

bool QTime::isValid ( ) const

Returns true if the time is valid; otherwise returns false. For example, the time 23:30:55.746 is valid, but 24:12:30 is invalid.

See also: isNull()

Definition at line 1753 of file qdatetime.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ isValid() [2/2]

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

static

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Returns true if the specified time is valid; otherwise returns false.

The time is valid if h is in the range 0 to 23, m and s are in the range 0 to 59, and ms is in the range 0 to 999.

Example:

Definition at line 2362 of file qdatetime.cpp.

◆ minute()

int QTime::minute ( ) const

Returns the minute part (0 to 59) of the time.

Returns -1 if the time is invalid.

See also: hour(), second(), msec()

Definition at line 1783 of file qdatetime.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ msec()

int QTime::msec ( ) const

Returns the millisecond part (0 to 999) of the time.

Returns -1 if the time is invalid.

See also: hour(), minute(), second()

Definition at line 1815 of file qdatetime.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ msecsSinceStartOfDay()

int QTime::msecsSinceStartOfDay ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the number of msecs since the start of the day, i.e. since 00:00:00.

See also: fromMSecsSinceStartOfDay()

Definition at line 197 of file qdatetime.h.

◆ msecsTo()

int QTime::msecsTo ( QTime t ) const

Returns the number of milliseconds from this time to t. If t is earlier than this time, the number of milliseconds returned is negative.

Because QTime measures time within a day and there are 86400 seconds in a day, the result is always between -86400000 and 86400000 ms.

Returns 0 if either time is invalid.

See also: secsTo(), addMSecs(), QDateTime::msecsTo()

Definition at line 2046 of file qdatetime.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ second()

int QTime::second ( ) const

Returns the second part (0 to 59) of the time.

Returns -1 if the time is invalid.

See also: hour(), minute(), msec()

Definition at line 1799 of file qdatetime.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ secsTo()

int QTime::secsTo ( QTime t ) const

Returns the number of seconds from this time to t. If t is earlier than this time, the number of seconds returned is negative.

Because QTime measures time within a day and there are 86400 seconds in a day, the result is always between -86400 and 86400.

secsTo() does not take into account any milliseconds.

Returns 0 if either time is invalid.

See also: addSecs(), QDateTime::secsTo()

Definition at line 2001 of file qdatetime.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ setHMS()

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

Sets the time to 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. Returns true if the set time is valid; otherwise returns false.
