Example

The following code listing illustrates creating a new Duration object, as well as reading values from it.

void ExampleDuration()
{
// Create an empty Duration object
altova::Duration empty_duration = altova::Duration();

// Create a Duration object using an existing duration value
altova::Duration duration1 = altova::Duration(empty_duration);

// Create a YearMonth duration of six years and five months
altova::YearMonthDuration yrduration = altova::YearMonthDuration(6, 5);

// Create a DayTime duration of four days, three hours, two minutes, and one second
altova::DayTimeDuration dtduration = altova::DayTimeDuration(4, 3, 2, 1);

// Create a Duration object by combining the two previously created durations
altova::Duration duration = altova::Duration(yrduration, dtduration);

// Get the number of years in this Duration instance
cout << "Years: " << duration.Years() << endl;

// Get the number of months in this Duration instance
cout << "Months: " << duration.Months() << endl;

// Get the number of days in this Duration instance
cout << "Days: " << duration.Days() << endl;

// Get the number of hours in this Duration instance
cout << "Hours: " << duration.Hours() << endl;

// Get the number of hours in this Duration instance
cout << "Minutes: " << duration.Minutes() << endl;

// Get the number of seconds in this Duration instance
cout << "Seconds: " << duration.Seconds() << endl;
