title: Swift - Type of variable returned from DispatchTime.now()
body: <p>If I need to save the value of DispatchTime.now() to access it outside of the function in which it was called, what is the variable type?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: the variable type is DispatchTime but I see no way to save that value as a variable so I can pass it along to another view controller in prepare(for segue) or use it across functions.</p>
  
  <p><code>var t = DispatchTime</code> [Expected member name or constructor call after type name]</p>
  
  <p><code>var t = DispatchTime()</code> [missing argument for parameter 'uptimeNanoseconds' in call]</p>
  
  <p><code>var t = DispatchTime.self</code> (no error, but when later trying t = DispatchTime.now() ['Cannot assign value of type 'DispatchTime' to type 'DispatchTime.Type'])</p>
