Display problem

Hi All
I found that following result is same, and they display same large positive number.
display(“t:%0t”,-3);
display(“t:%0t”,-100);

what is the reason of that?
thanks

In reply to peter:

The ‘%t’ format specifier is designed to display $time or $realtime per the $timeformat specified. You are passing a negative number (which time can never be), so you are likely seeing a large unsigned time interpretation.

Why are you trying to use ‘%t’ with negative numbers?

In reply to cgales:

it is because i want to use time to make some calculation , and the result may be negative
how to check my result is negative or not?
thanks!

In reply to peter:

If you are subtracting two times, you should determine which one is greater and subtract the smaller one to ensure that the result is always positive.
