Time :: compare - Compare time points

The function compares the time point stored in the object with the time passed in the parameter.

The function returns -1 when the time point is lower than the time passed parameter, 1 when the the time point is greater than the one passed and 0 , when both values are equal.

The function throws an exception, when values are invalid or not comparable.

Return value:  Compare result ( int32  )

The result of a comparison is an integer value with the following meaning:

  • 0: both operands have the same value
  • 1: the calling operand is greater than the passed operand
  • -1: the calling operand is smaller than the passed operand
