Parameters

seconds

Number of seconds.

microseconds

The fractional number of seconds.

precision

Number of significant digits of the second.

scale

The number of decimal places for the second.

The number of seconds and microseconds are constructed into a TdIntervalSecond. The microseconds parameter represents 10 ^-6 seconds and the microsecond parameter is divided by 10^-6 (.000001) to create a fractional number of seconds. The supplied scale is used to used to truncate any fractional seconds at the position indicated by the scale.

For example, a microseconds value of 12345678 and a scale of 6 will be divided by 10^-6 and truncated at the 6th position resulting in a value of .123456. A microseconds value of 123 and a scale of 6 will result in a value of .000123.

All values are constructed into a TdIntervalSecond to determine if the TdIntervalSecond.MinValue or the TdIntervalSecond.MaxValue values are exceeded. If the values are not exceeded but the resulting seconds component exceeds the supplied precision value, an exception is generated.

For example a constructor for TdIntervalSecond(444, 90, 2, 6) requests 444 seconds and 90 microseconds with a precision of 2 and a scale of 6. The resulting TdIntervalSecond literal value of '444.000090' contains a seconds value which cannot be represented in 2 digits. Therefore an exception is generated, even though the MinValue and the MaxValue values have not been exceeded.

Negative constructor parameters may be supplied to represent negative durations of time. Mixed positive and negative constructor parameters are added together that result in a negative or positive TdIntervalSecond. For instance, a second value of -4900, a microsecond value of 30, a second precision of 4 and a scale of 6 will result in a TdIntervalSecond interval value of -'4899.000070'.
