Dear Colleagues,
I have a function that takes a time in this format
hh:mm:ss.s
and to which I add a variable number of seconds, then output the
updated time in the same format. hh can be greater than 24!
Here's the function. Problem is, it seems slow (I need to do this call

Hi,
May be this will do?
(just to give an idea, can be tweaked)
function newTime oldTime,addedSec
set the twelvehourtime to false
convert oldTime to seconds
add addedSec to oldTime
convert oldTime to long time
if length(oldTime) = 8 then return oldTime
else return 0 oldTime
end
I wrote the following alternative. It's about twice as fast, which is
less than I had hoped for. One real speed gain if your data is at all
repetitive would be to memo-ize your function. Keep a table of a few
thousand inputs and outputs. Whenever you get a call with the same
values that

I tested the suggestions and a couple of my own and couldn't find
anything faster than Wouter's suggestions, with Dick's being very
similar. I challenge for the shortest function :-)

My favorite way to speed things up is to do something like
put 0 into x
function newTime oldTime,addedSec
if x mod 100 = 0 then

end if
add 1 to x
end newTime
Do you really need to change that variable every millisecond

The delete stack command, when used on a main stack, purges the stack
from memory. However, when used on a substack, it deletes that
substack from the stack file.
