Element: time.ticks

Type

numeric

Description

The number of seconds in time since the epoch (January 1, 1970). If time is pre-epoch or beyond December 31, 2037, the value of time.ticks is negative and will represent a day computed from the following expression:

- (time.day + (time.month - 1 + (time.year * 12)) * 32)

because such times are truncated to the nearest day.

Changing the value of this element will change the total value of time accordingly. A negative value will set the date according to the above formula.
