#include <clockWC.h>
The class provides the wall clock timer in seconds.
This routine relies on the ANSI C routine, clock(), for its basic operation. Therefore, it should be fairly portable.
The clock will rollover if the calculation is long enough. The wraparound time is roughly 72 minutes for a 32 bit system. This object senses that by seeing if the raw tick counter is has decreased from the last time. If it senses a wraparound has occurred, it increments an internal counter to account for this. Therefore, for long calculations, this object must be called at regular intervals for the seconds timer to be accurate.
An example of how to use the timer is given below. timeToDoCalcs contains the wall clock time calculated for the operation.
In general, the process to be timed must take more than a millisecond for this clock to enough of a significant resolution to be accurate.

This also serves to initialize the ticks within the object

| double secondsWC | ( | ) |
Returns the wall clock time in seconds since the last reset.
Returns system cpu and wall clock time in seconds. This is a strictly Ansi C timer, since clock() is defined as an Ansi C function. On some machines clock() returns type unsigned long (HP) and on others (SUN) it returns type long. An attempt to recover the actual time for clocks which have rolled over is made also. However, it only works if this function is called fairly regularly during the solution procedure.
