Whether time.tics() will Rollover to zero after reaching the maximum value which is 298hrs?

Question

Whether time.tics() will Rollover to zero after reaching the maximum value which is 298.8hrs?
As I am using in my code time.tics() start time= time.tics() and calculating the difference ,so if my loop runs for 12 days after that how will I get the time difference like 298.8 hrs is maximum value I guess if it becomes zero again then some Milli second minus my current time will differ so any solutions please help

Answer 1

What is your application doing that requires it to measure extended periods of time?

One option will be to run ticks_diff() periodically and if the time elapsed is over a certain amount increment a counter and reset ticks_ms().

For example, if tick_diff() is over 1 day, increment a day counter, and then reset tick_ms().

Answer 2

What product are you referring to and in what language are you writing this code in?

Yes it will. That is why the ticks_diff exists.

So in that case after 298.8 it gets roll over to zero ,example 20 hour - 17 hrs = 3 hrs, what will happen 298hrs (start time) - 50 min (end time) = 291.10 minutes ,So it will spoil my difference value after 12 days ,as we are running the modules for years without any changes. how to solve this?

i am waiting for your valuable reply please help us out.

I am sorry but I do not understand your comment. At the max value, the next tick will be 0.
