Detailed Description

A data structure which represents progress through a simulation, encapsulating both simulated time and a counter of events within a single point in simulated time.

A discrete_event_time object tracks both a simulated time point and the number of events or steps that have occurred within that time point. Whenever the simulated time point advances, the counter of past events is reset to zero.

Below is an example of how a discrete_event_time object can be initialized and advanced.

auto start_t = time_point() + 100_s; // Define start time.
auto end_t = time_point() + 400_s; // Define end time.
auto event_time = discrete_event_time(start_t); // Initialize.
event_time.advance(57_s, end_t); // Advance to 57_s, 0
event_time.advance(); // Advance to 57_s, 1
event_time.advance(240_s, end_t); // Advance to 297_s, 0
event_time.advance(); // Advance to 297_s, 1
event_time.advance(); // Advance to 297_s, 2
