Thanks for good advice!

The parentheses were intended to group conversions into milliseconds,
but were not necessary from an "operator precedence" perspective.

If I use '100' for the divisor of '10ms', I find it difficult to understand
the meaning of the operation.

When using '100' for the divisor, I think cs (centi-sec) is easier to understand than 10ms.
Which do you prefer, time_10ms or time_cs?
