Wall Clocks vs. Monotonic Clocks

When we're measuring time in our apps, it's important for us to use the right kind of clock in order to get the most reliable results. As a prelude to exploring the newly-stable Timing API in Kotlin 1.9, let's check out the difference between a wall clock and a monotonic clock!

Just sought out your video after attorney, Alan Jackson referred to a monotonic clock in his closing statement. Thanks for helping me to understand what he was speaking of since I missed when the expert explained it on the witness stand.

Liked and Subbed!

Super helpful, Dave, and always fun to see your excellent animations! (Plus, I had that calculator watch back in the day.)

As always, great video! Waiting for the Kotlin Timing API one!

When are you putting up the next video? I've got a new app that I think could make good use of the monotonic clock in Kotlin 1.9. :)

Can you touch on classes in your next videos Dave, there are so many of them, general, inner, nested, sealed, data, abstract, annotation, enums. It's so confusion
