NetLogo Help: ticks

### ticks4.0

#### ticks

Reports the current value of the tick counter. The result is always a number and never negative.

If the tick counter has not been started yet with `reset-ticks`, an error results.

Most models use the `tick` command to advance the tick counter, in which case `ticks` will always report an integer. If the `tick-advance` command is used, then `ticks` may report a floating point number.

See also tick, tick-advance, reset-ticks, clear-ticks.
