Programming languages that support arbitrary precision computations, either built-in, or in the standard library of the language: Ada: the upcoming Ada 202x revision adds the Ada.Numerics.Big_Numbers.Big_Integers and Ada.Numerics.Big_Numbers.Big_Reals packages to the standard library, providing arbitrary precision integers and real numbers.
Identifier Description Time manipulation difftime: computes the difference in seconds between two time_t values : time: returns the current time of the system as a time_t value, number of seconds, (which is usually time since an epoch, typically the Unix epoch).
An order of magnitude of time is usually a decimal prefix or decimal order-of-magnitude quantity together with a base unit of time, like a microsecond or a million years. In some cases, the order of magnitude may be implied (usually 1), like a "second" or "year". In other cases, the quantity name implies the base unit, like "century". In most ...

A microsecond is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one millionth (0.000001 or 10 −6 or 1 ⁄ 1,000,000) of a second.Its symbol is μs, sometimes simplified to us when Unicode is not available.
On 5 January 1975, the 12-bit field that had been used for dates in the TOPS-10 operating system for DEC PDP-10 computers overflowed, in a bug known as "DATE75". The field value was calculated by taking the number of years since 1964, multiplying by 12, adding the number of months since January, multiplying by 31, and adding the number of days since the start of the month; putting 2 12 − 1 ...
A day is unity, or 1, and any fraction thereof can be shown with digits to the right of the hexadecimal separator.So the day begins at midnight with .0000 and one hexadecimal second after midnight is .0001.
A unit of 10 milliseconds may be called a centisecond, and one of 100 milliseconds a decisecond, but these names are rarely used. [3] To help compare orders of magnitude of different times , this page lists times between 10 −3 seconds and 10 0 seconds (1 milli second and one second).
