Time.aSeconds returns 1e-006 ?

[Chi]

Hello all,

        sf::Clock clock;
   sf::Time time;

   time = clock.getElapsedTime();
   std::cout << time.asSeconds() << std::endl;

if i put line 3 and 4 in the Game Loop, its shows seconds. But if  put it before the Game loop starts, it gives me a 1e-006. Why that happens?

If you do some math, you will see that this is a very small number. The reason it isn't 0 is because time IS passing as soon as the clock is created, and that number you see is that amount.
