Duration

value class Duration : Comparable<Duration> (source)

Represents the amount of time one instant of time is away from another instant.

A negative duration is possible in a situation when the second instant is earlier than the first one. An infinite duration value Duration.INFINITE can be used to represent infinite timeouts.

The type can store duration values up to ±146 years with nanosecond precision, and up to ±146 million years with millisecond precision.

To construct a duration, use either the extension function toDuration available on Int, Long, and Double numeric types, or the Duration companion object functions Duration.hours, Duration.minutes, Duration.seconds, and so on, taking Int, Long, or Double numbers as parameters.

To get the value of this duration expressed in a particular duration units use the functions toInt, toLong, and toDouble or the properties inWholeHours, inWholeMinutes, inWholeSeconds, inWholeNanoseconds, and so on.

Functions

compareTo

open operator override fun compareTo(other: Duration): Int

div

operator fun div(scale: Double): Duration

operator fun div(scale: Int): Duration

Returns a duration whose value is this duration value divided by the given scale number.

operator fun div(other: Duration): Double

Returns a number that is the ratio of this and other duration values.

isFinite

fun isFinite(): Boolean

Returns true, if the duration value is finite.

isInfinite

fun isInfinite(): Boolean

Returns true, if the duration value is infinite.

isNegative

fun isNegative(): Boolean

Returns true, if the duration value is less than zero.

isPositive

fun isPositive(): Boolean

Returns true, if the duration value is greater than zero.

minus

operator fun minus(other: Duration): Duration

Returns a duration whose value is the difference between this and other duration values.

plus

operator fun plus(other: Duration): Duration

Returns a duration whose value is the sum of this and other duration values.

times

operator fun times(scale: Double): Duration

operator fun times(scale: Int): Duration

Returns a duration whose value is this duration value multiplied by the given scale number.

toComponents

inline fun <T> toComponents(action: (seconds: Long, nanoseconds: Int) -> T): T

Splits this duration into seconds, and nanoseconds and executes the given action with these components. The result of action is returned as the result of this function.

inline fun <T> toComponents(action: (minutes: Int, seconds: Int, nanoseconds: Int) -> T): T

Splits this duration into minutes, seconds, and nanoseconds and executes the given action with these components. The result of action is returned as the result of this function.

inline fun <T> toComponents(action: (hours: Int, minutes: Int, seconds: Int, nanoseconds: Int) -> T): T

Splits this duration into hours, minutes, seconds, and nanoseconds and executes the given action with these components. The result of action is returned as the result of this function.

inline fun <T> toComponents(action: (days: Int, hours: Int, minutes: Int, seconds: Int, nanoseconds: Int) -> T): T

Splits this duration into days, hours, minutes, seconds, and nanoseconds and executes the given action with these components. The result of action is returned as the result of this function.
