max_t() and time_min were already used in the original code, I did not want to change
that.
Regarding error handling, I saw two options here:
1. update variable with some fail-safe value and time_min looked good
for that or,
2. do not update anything and do nothing or "goto invalid:" but I was not sure
about that, so selected first option.
If first option is not the best one, what would be better in case of error handling?
Thanks,
Marcin
