## Properties

| Property                                                                         | Description                             |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| [Count](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unity/integertime/rationaltime/count.md) | Returns the number of ticks.            |
| [Ticks](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unity/integertime/rationaltime/ticks.md) | Returns the number of ticks per second. |

## Static Methods

| Method                                                                                     | Description                                                                 |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [FromDouble](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unity/integertime/rationaltime/fromdouble.md) | Converts a floating point number into a RationalTime with an explicit rate. |

## Operators

| Operator                                                                                      | Description                                                                                                                                                                           |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [DiscreteTime](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unity/integertime/rationaltime/op-explicit.md) | Converts a RationalTime to DiscreteTime representation. If the rate denominator is 1 and the DiscreteTime.TicksPerSecond is a multiple of the numerator, this conversion is lossless. |
