// 
// DEFINITION
// 
// A timer `t' of type Timer is an object with a state. It is either
// running or it is stopped. The state is controlled with `t.start()'
// and `t.stop()'. The timer counts the time elapsed since its creation
// or last reset. It counts only the time where it is in the running
// state. The time information is given in seconds.
