• There are three types of time representation already provided by the Framework: sale.Step a simple representation as a Long value that is increased by one with every timer tick, sale.Date a simple date representation that increases by a day with every timer tick, and sale.CalendarTime a date representation that uses a java.util.Calendar to manipulate dates.
