While reading some source code, I saw a variable called "end" of type
"time". So I investigated what the type "time" meant and saw that time
was a typedef for "Real". So what does "Real" mean? "Real" is a
typedef for QL_REAL. So what does "QL_REAL" mean? QL_REAL is type
double via the line of code #define QL_REAL double....

so what's your question? So the line

time end;
or however it was defined becomes
double end;
after all the preprocessore directives are finished. So what's the
question? Or is this an observation or a comment?

Congratulations, you have discovered abstraction, a fundamental skill
when writing software.

You're learning how to use QuanLib?
That's interesting... You're gonna work in finance?

Commando team use it with VBA... Maybe you'd have to imporve VBA first...
QuandLib has a DLL usable into Excel without knowing how C++ works and with
about the same performances...

No, I don't think the OP has discovered abstraction. I wrote
_exactly_ the same paragraph in another posting, and the OP just copy-
pasted it. I don't know why the OP did this(??)
If the OP has discovered anything, it is the art of copying and
pasting text.
