struct Time::Span

Overview

Time::Span represents one period of time.

A Time::Span initializes with the specified period. Different numbers of arguments generate a Time::Span in different length. Check all #new methods for details.

Time::Span.new(nanoseconds: 10_000)                           # => 00:00:00.000010000
Time::Span.new(hours: 10, minutes: 10, seconds: 10)           # => 10:10:10
Time::Span.new(days: 10, hours: 10, minutes: 10, seconds: 10) # => 10.10:10:10

Calculation between Time also returns a Time::Span.

span = Time.utc(2015, 10, 10) - Time.utc(2015, 9, 10)
span       # => 30.00:00:00
span.class # => Time::Span

Inspection:

span = Time::Span.new(hours: 20, minutes: 10, seconds: 10)
span.hours   # => 20
span.minutes # => 10
span.seconds # => 10

Calculation:

a = Time::Span.new(hours: 20, minutes: 10, seconds: 10)
b = Time::Span.new(hours: 10, minutes: 10, seconds: 10)
c = a - b # => 10:00:00
c.hours   # => 10

Constructor Detail

def self.additive_identity : selfSource

Returns the additive identity of this type.

This is .zero.

def self.new(*, seconds : Int, nanoseconds : Int)Source

Creates a new Time::Span from seconds and nanoseconds.

Nanoseconds get normalized in the range of 0...1_000_000_000, the nanosecond overflow gets added as seconds.

Time::Span.new(seconds: 30)                 # => 00:00:30
Time::Span.new(seconds: 5, nanoseconds: 12) # => 00:00:05.000000012

def self.new(*, nanoseconds : Int)Source

Creates a new Time::Span from the nanoseconds given

Nanoseconds get normalized in the range of 0...1_000_000_000, the nanosecond overflow gets added as seconds.

Time::Span.new(nanoseconds: 500_000_000)   # => 00:00:00.500000000
Time::Span.new(nanoseconds: 5_500_000_000) # => 00:00:05.500000000

def self.new(*, days : Int = 0, hours : Int = 0, minutes : Int = 0, seconds : Int = 0, nanoseconds : Int = 0)Source

Creates a new Time::Span from the days, hours, minutes, seconds and nanoseconds given

Any time unit can be omitted.

Time::Span.new(days: 1)                                                   # => 1.00:00:00
Time::Span.new(days: 1, hours: 2, minutes: 3)                             # => 01:02:03
Time::Span.new(days: 1, hours: 2, minutes: 3, seconds: 4, nanoseconds: 5) # => 1.02:03:04.000000005
