Time

doubletime(	int	`Hours`
	int	`Minutes`
	int	`Seconds`	)[inline]

Calculates the fraction of a day represented by the specified time (Hours, Minutes and Seconds), using the formula:

$time = \frac{3600 hours + 60 minutes + seconds}{24 *3600}$

(2)

Therefore time=0 is midnight, time=0.5 is midday, and time=1 is the start of the next day.

Example:

double breakfast =time(6,15,0);    // ~0.2604
  double midday    =time(12,0,0);    // 0.5
  double lunchtime =time(13,30,0);   // ~0.5625
  double bedtime   =time(22,40,0);   // ~0.9444
