# TSGetTime
Gets the time of the most recently completed step. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSGetTime(TS ts, PetscReal *t)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameter

- ***ts -*** the `TS` context obtained from `TSCreate()`



## Output Parameter

- ***t  -*** the current time. This time may not corresponds to the final time set with `TSSetMaxTime()`, use `TSGetSolveTime()`.





## Note
When called during time step evaluation (e.g. during residual evaluation or via hooks set using `TSSetPreStep()`,
`TSSetPreStage()`, `TSSetPostStage()`, or `TSSetPostStep()`), the time is the time at the start of the step being evaluated.
