SplitStopWatch

This PCL implements a stopWatch.

Additionally to the normal stopWatch-functionality it may be used to debug out split-times as well. It measures the split-times and keeps track of the overall times in a variable.
Don't be afraid to stop the watch. Stopping doesn't mean you loose any value whatsoever. Think of it as a real-life stopWatch where you may press the start-button at any time after previously pressing the stop-button.

This class provides useful overloads that allow writing to a stream in a way that your measurement doesn't get compromised (the stopWatch is paused while writing to the stream). You may initialize it with a stream so that you can use all the overloads that take a string-argument or Console.Out is used as a default.
All the write-operations are performed as a printLine-call, so you don't need to close your assigned text with a newline-character.

It has a property 'isActive' that defaults to true. When this is set to false all calls to this class are aborted within a single if-statement in the called method. This is a convenience function so that you may leave your logging-code in the production code.

If you like this repo, please don't forget to star it. Thank you.

Example

SplitStopWatch ssw = new SplitStopWatch();
ssw.start("started.");
  Thread.sleep(10);
ssw.split("split.");
  Thread.sleep(10);
ssw.stop("stopped.");
