Hi All,
I did search but I cannot find it anywhere. All I want to do
is add 300 seconds to the output of Clock.currTime. So
basically if Clock.currTime equals 2013-Oct-04
17:19:31.3338333 then I want to subtract 300 seconds from
that to get the time that it was 300 seconds ago. In other
languages I would convert the time value to seconds and
subtract the 300 seconds then convert it back to what ever
time value it was before. I don't know how to convert 300
seconds to hnsecs and I have never actually heard of hnsecs
before. Anyway if someone could help I would appreciate it.
auto t = Clock.currTime;
t -= 300.seconds;
t += 300.seconds;
And just a little bit more info, another way to write this is:
auto t = Clock.currTime;
t -= seconds(300);
t += seconds(300);
The first way I wrote is just the UFCS version of that.
You could also do:
auto t = Clock.currTime;
t -= dur!"seconds"(300);
t += dur!"seconds"(300);
seconds() is just an alias for the dur template with the
"seconds" template argument.
Wow I appreciate the quick response. Ok I have seen this before.
What is the dur? Where is dur defined? Also I am confused how
300.seconds would work. How can a literal number have properties?
