Creating count down timer in Qt

[TheIndependentAquarius]

I wish to understand this line:

objTime->setHMS (0, objTime->addSecs (-1).minute (), objTime->addSecs (-1).second ());

objTime->setHMS (0, objTime->addSecs (-1).minute (), objTime->addSecs (-1).second ());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

How does this decrease the minutes and seconds?

From here: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qtime.html#addSecs

QTime n(14, 0, 0);    // n == 14:00:00
QTime t;
t = n.addSecs(70);   // t == 14:01:10
t = n.addSecs(-70);  // t == 13:58:50

QTime n(14, 0, 0);    // n == 14:00:00
QTime t;
t = n.addSecs(70);   // t == 14:01:10
t = n.addSecs(-70);  // t == 13:58:50

`addSecs` function perhaps adds or subtracts seconds. Fine. But what does this do objTime->addSecs (-1).minute ()?

How does setHMS work (in the current case)?

Remember that QTime::addSecs() CREATES new QTime instance and don't change yourself.
So this is equivalent to :

QTime time_dec = objTime->addSecs (-1);
objTime->setHMS (0, time_dec.minute(), time_dec.second());

QTime time_dec = objTime->addSecs (-1);
objTime->setHMS (0, time_dec.minute(), time_dec.second());
