procedure

(microseconds n) → time-period?

  n : exact-integer?

procedure

(nanoseconds n) → time-period?

  n : exact-integer?
Per-field period constructors.

Examples:
> (years 3)

#<period of 3 years>

> (days -20)

#<period of -20 days>

> (seconds 900)

#<period of 900 seconds>

value

empty-period : period?

Returns a period representing no time.

Example:
> empty-period

#<period [empty]>

procedure

(period p ...) → period?

  p : period?
Returns a period representing the sum of the given ps.

Examples:
> (period)

#<period [empty]>

> (period [years 6] [days 40] [hours 20] [milliseconds 100])

#<period of 6 years, 40 days, 20 hours, 100 milliseconds>

> (period [years 10] [years -5])

#<period of 5 years>

The same identifier also acts as a match expander with the same syntax:

Example:
> (match (months 4)
    [(period [years y] [months m] [hours h]) (list y m h)])

'(0 4 0)

procedure

(period? v) → boolean?

  v : any/c
Returns #t if v is a period, #f otherwise.

procedure

(date-period? p) → boolean?

  p : period?
Returns #t if all of p’s time fields are 0, #f otherwise. Equivalent to:

(equal? p (period->date-period p))

procedure

(time-period? p) → boolean?

  p : period?
Returns #t if all of p’s date fields are 0, #f otherwise. Equivalent to:

(equal? p (period->time-period p))

procedure

(period-empty? p) → boolean?

  p : period?
Returns #t if all of p’s fields are 0, #f otherwise. Equivalent to:

(andmap (compose zero? cdr) (period->list p))

procedure

(period-ref p f) → exact-integer?

  p : period?
  f : temporal-unit/c
Returns the value in period p corresponding to field f.

Examples:
> (period-ref (years 10) 'years)

10

> (period-ref (years 10) 'hours)

0

procedure

(period-set p f n) → period?

  p : period?
  f : temporal-unit/c
  n : exact-integer?
Returns a fresh period equivalent to p, except that field f is set to n.

Examples:
> (period-set (years 10) 'years -10)

#<period of -10 years>

> (period-set (years 10) 'hours -10)

#<period of 10 years, -10 hours>

procedure

(period->list p)

 → (listof (cons/c temporal-unit/c exact-integer?))
  p : period?
Returns an association list with the same mappings as p.

Examples:
> (period->list (years 10))

'((years . 10)

  (months . 0)

  (weeks . 0)

  (days . 0)

  (hours . 0)

  (minutes . 0)

  (nanoseconds . 0))

procedure

(period->date-period p) → date-period?

  p : period?
Returns a fresh period containing only the date components of p.

Example:
> (period->date-period (period [years 1] [months 2] [days 3] [hours 4] [minutes 5] [seconds 6]))

#<period of 1 year, 2 months, 3 days>

procedure

(period->time-period p) → time-period?

  p : period?
Returns a fresh period containing only the time components of p.

#<period of 4 hours, 5 minutes, 6 seconds>

procedure

(negate-period p) → period?

  p : period?
Returns a period where each of p’s components is negated.

Example:
> (negate-period (period [years 1] [months 2] [days 3] [hours 4] [minutes 5] [seconds 6]))

#<period of -1 year, -2 months, -3 days, -4 hours, -5 minutes, -6 seconds>

value

date-unit/c : flat-contract?

value

time-unit/c : flat-contract?

value

temporal-unit/c : flat-contract?

Contracts requiring that values be members of date-units, time-units, or temporal-units, respectively.

procedure

(date-period-between p1 p2 [fields]) → date-period?

  p1 : date-provider?
  p2 : date-provider?
  fields : (listof date-unit/c) = date-units
Computes the date period between p1 and p2 in terms of the units supplied in fields.

Example:
> (date-period-between (date 1959 5 22) (date 1980 1 18) '(years months days))

#<period of 20 years, 7 months, 27 days>

procedure

(time-period-between p1 p2 [fields]) → time-period?

  p1 : time-provider?
  p2 : time-provider?
  fields : (listof time-unit/c) = time-units
Computes the time period between p1 and p2 in terms of the units supplied in fields.

Example:
> (time-period-between (datetime 1970) (now))

#<period of 475867 hours, 48 minutes, 15 seconds, 629 milliseconds, 265 microseconds, 625 nanoseconds>

procedure

(period-between p1 p2 [fields]) → period?

  p1 : datetime-provider?
  p2 : datetime-provider?
  fields : (listof temporal-unit/c) = temporal-units
Computes the period between p1 and p2 in terms of the units supplied in fields.

Example:
> (period-between (datetime 1970) (now) '(years months days hours minutes seconds))

#<period of 54 years, 3 months, 13 days, 19 hours, 48 minutes, 15 seconds>
