An operation to read a time should have the time set by the time of the clock advance by one second. Give the pseudo algorithm.


Q.) An operation to read a time should have the time set by the time of the clock advance by one second. Give the pseudo algorithm.

Subject: Data Structures
// Pseudo algorithm for an operation to read a time and advance the clock by one second

// Input:
// - Current time t

// Output:
// - New time t + 1

// Algorithm:

1. Read the current time t from the clock.
2. Increment the time by one second: t ← t + 1.
3. Return the new time t + 1.

// Mathematical notation:

(t_{new} = t_{old} + 1)

// Example:

If the current time is 12:00:00, then the new time will be 12:00:01.
// Implementation in Python:

```python
def read_time():
    """
    Reads the current time from the clock and advances the clock by one second.

    Returns:
        The new time.
    """

    current_time = datetime.now()
    new_time = current_time + timedelta(seconds=1)

    return new_time
