Slot Details

abs

Duration abs()

Absolute value - if this is a negative duration, then return its positive value.

boot

static Duration boot()

Get the system timer at boot time of the Fantom VM.

clamp

Duration clamp(Duration min, Duration max)

Clamp this duration between the min and max. If its less than min then return min, if its greater than max return max, otherwise return this duration itself.

compare

virtual override Int compare(Obj obj)

Compare based on nanosecond ticks.

defVal

const static Duration defVal

Default value is 0ns.

div

@Operator
Duration div(Int b)

Divide this by b. Shortcut is a/b.

divFloat

@Operator
Duration divFloat(Float b)

Divide this by b. Shortcut is a/b.

equals

virtual override Bool equals(Obj? obj)

Return true if same number nanosecond ticks.

floor

Duration floor(Duration accuracy)

Return a new Duration with this duration's nanosecond ticks truncated according to the specified accuracy. For example floor(1min) will truncate this duration such that its seconds are 0.0.

fromIso

static Duration fromIso(Str s, Bool checked := true)

Parse a duration according to ISO 8601. If invalid format and checked is false return null, otherwise throw ParseErr. The following restrictions are enforced:

  • Cannot specify a Y year or M month component since it is ambiguous
  • Only the S seconds component may include a fraction
  • Only nanosecond resolution is supported See toIso for example formats.

fromStr

static new fromStr(Str s, Bool checked := true)

Parse a Str into a Duration according to the Fantom literal format. If invalid format and checked is false return null, otherwise throw ParseErr. The following suffixes are supported:

ns:   nanoseconds  (x 1)
ms:   milliseconds (x 1,000,000)
sec:  seconds      (x 1,000,000,000)
min:  minutes      (x 60,000,000,000)
hr:   hours        (x 3,600,000,000,000)
day:  days         (x 86,400,000,000,000)

Examples:

Duration.fromStr("4ns")
Duration.fromStr("100ms")
Duration.fromStr("-0.5hr")

hash

virtual override Int hash()

Return ticks().

make

static new make(Int ticks)

Create a Duration which represents the specified number of nanosecond ticks.

max

Duration max(Duration that)

Return the maximum duration between this and that.

maxVal

const static Duration maxVal

Max value is equivalent to make(Int.maxVal).

min

Duration min(Duration that)

Return the minimum duration between this and that.

minVal

const static Duration minVal

Min value is equivalent to make(Int.minVal).

minus

@Operator
Duration minus(Duration b)

mult

@Operator
Duration mult(Int b)

Multiply this with b. Shortcut is a*b.

multFloat

@Operator
Duration multFloat(Float b)

Multiply this with b. Shortcut is a*b.

negate

@Operator
Duration negate()
