The time() function returns an atom and not an integer. In other words, its
value can be fractions of a second. It does not return the Time Of Day. It is
used for finding elapsed time.

  atom Start
  atom Stop

  Start = time()
  DoSomething()
  Stop = time()
  printf(1, "Duration=%f", Stop - Start)

Show us what you mean by giving examples that you actually used and their
results.
