TimeSpan Class

Detailed Documentation

Example Usage

General

TimeSpan objects are unnamed objects that represent generic time periods to 1-second precision. The time periods may contain calendar (year, month) and/or time [1] (day, hour, minute, second) portions. [2]

Unlike HecTime Class objects:

• The months and days values may be zero

• The days value may be arbitrarily large (positive or negative) without impacting the months value

• The signs of the years and days values may be different. In this case the string representation of the object cannot be specified in a single ISO 8601 Duration string and is represented by two strings (one for the calendar portion and one for the time portion) separated by a comma.

[1]

In this context time portion or information means non-calendar portion or information.

[2]

Although day is calendar information for time instances, it is time information when combining a time period with a time instance or another time period.
