# Swatch Internet Time Java Library

(README.md generated by ChatGPT)

This Java library provides a simple way to get the current time in Swatch Internet Time beats. Swatch Internet Time is a decimal time concept introduced by the Swatch Group in 1998, which divides the 24-hour day into 1,000 "beats", each beat lasting 1 minute and 26.4 seconds.

## Usage

To use the `InternetTime` class, first import it into your Java project:

```java

import se.alexanderjonsson.InternetTime;

```

Then, you can call one of the following static methods to get the current Swatch Internet Time:

```java

// Returns the current time as an Integer

int swatchTimeInt = InternetTime.getCurrentTimeAsInteger();

// Returns the current time as a Double with two decimal places

double swatchTimeDouble = InternetTime.getCurrentTimeAsDouble();

// Returns the current time as a formatted String

String swatchTimeStringWithDecimals = InternetTime.getCurrentTimeAsString(TimeFormat.WITH_DECIMALS); // e.g. "123.23"

String swatchTimeStringWithoutDecimals = InternetTime.getCurrentTimeAsString(TimeFormat.WITHOUT_DECIMALS); // e.g. "123"

// Returns a String representation of the current Swatch Internet Time in the format "@.beats"

String swatchTimeString = InternetTime.toString(); // e.g. "@009.23.beats"

```

Note that the getCurrentTimeAsString() method both allow you to specify a TimeFormat enum value to control the formatting of the returned value. The TimeFormat enum has four values:  WITH_CENTIBEATS, WITHOUT_CENTIBEATS, CENTIBEATS_WITHOUT_LEADING_ZEROES, WITHOUT_CENTIBEATS_WITHOUT_LEADING_ZEROES. If you don't specify a TimeFormat, the default is WITH_CENTIBEATS.

```java

public enum TimeFormat {

    WITH_CENTIBEATS,

    WITHOUT_CENTIBEATS,

    CENTIBEATS_WITHOUT_LEADING_ZEROES,

    WITHOUT_CENTIBEATS_WITHOUT_LEADING_ZEROES;

}

```
