[chuck-users] print absolute time in chuck

[Chiel ten Brinke]

Here is an improvement over the provided script:

class FullTimeHack
{
    int minutes;
    int seconds;

    // PRECONSTRUCTOR

    string datetime;
    ConsoleInput stdin;     // gonna read from here
    stdin.prompt("") => now; // wait until something comes in
    while (stdin.more())  {  stdin.getLine() => datetime;  } // read input
    //<<< datetime >>>;
    Std.atoi(datetime.substring(10, 2)) => minutes;
    Std.atoi(datetime.substring(13, 2)) => seconds;
    <<< minutes + ":" + seconds >>>;


    fun void print_full_time()
    {
        (seconds + now/second) % 60 => float new_seconds;
        (minutes + now/minute) $ int % 60 => int new_minutes;
        <<< new_minutes + ":" + new_seconds >>>;
    }

}

FullTimeHack hack;
hack.print_full_time();
