Implicit conversions. In TimeHelpers.scala we have:
1. TimeSpanBuilder which contains method minutes, seconds etc. 2. And the implicits such as: implicit def intToTimeSpanBuilder(in: Int): TimeSpanBuilder = TimeSpanBuilder(in) therefore compiler automatically applies intToTimeSpanBuilder (10).seconds as the type of object 10 has no minutes method. So "10 minutes" will yield a TimeSpan instance. Still you can use (3 + (10 seconds)) because there is another implicit conversion implicit def timeSpanToLong(in: TimeSpan): Long = in.millis to convert from a TimeSpan to a Long hence (10 minutes) can be used in arithmetic operations.
