Hi,

Type time is included in table 3-1 in SV 3.1a/draft2 LRM, so
it is one of the integer data types.

The SV 3.1a/draft2 LRM, Section 3.2, also says
  non_integer_type ::= time | shortreal | real | realtime

So, the type time
a) is one of the integer data types, and
b) is one of the non_integer_type.

I do not know how to explain this to my kids.
Can someone help on this?

Thanks,
Andy
