Summary

Base class for a timer with particularly self-explanatory method names which are chainable. See Remarks.

Generic type parameters

T	The type of the values that the timer returns. This may be a reference type if need be, as long as the descendant fully supports a zero being equal to default(T).

Remarks

Idiomatic use example: var tmr = new TmrSeconds().StartAndZero();

Constructors

Tmr<T>()

Instantiates the timer. The timer will be zeroed, and it will not be running.

Instance methods

Tmr<T>	Continue()	Makes sure the timer is running without zeroing the time reading. If the reading is non-zero, it will continue growing. This method may be called while the timer is already running.
Tmr<T>	Pause()	Pauses the timer without zeroing it. This method may be called while the timer is already paused, but a single call to Tmr<T>.Continue() is always sufficient to resume the timer.
Tmr<T>	StartAndZero()	Resets the timer and makes sure it's running. The current state of the timer is irrelevant.
Tmr<T>	StopAndZero()	Makes sure the timer is not running and zeroes it. The current state of the timer is irrelevant.
Tmr<T>	Zero()	Resets the timer back to zero.

Instance properties

T	Current	Gets the current reading of the timer. This value increases between consecutive reads while the timer is running, and remains fixed while it's paused.
T	Last	Gets the reading the timer had just before the last call to any of the methods of this class related to zeroing, pausing and resuming the timer.
