Examples
This statement returns 15:
SecondsAfter(21:15:30, 21:15:45)
This statement returns -15:
SecondsAfter(21:15:45, 21:15:30)
This statement returns 0:

If you declare start_time and end_time time variables and assign 19:02:16 to start_time and 19:02:28 to end_time as shown below:
time start_time, end_time start_time = 19:02:16 end_time = 19:02:28
then each of these statements returns 12:
SecondsAfter(start_time, end_time) SecondsAfter(19:02:16, end_time) SecondsAfter(start_time, 19:02:28) SecondsAfter(19:02:16, 19:02:28)
