std::literals::chrono_literals:: operator""min

Forms a std::chrono::duration literal representing minutes.

Parameters

Return value

The std::chrono::duration literal.

Possible implementation

constexpr std::chrono::minutes operator""min(unsigned long long m)
{
    return std::chrono::minutes(m);
}
constexpr std::chrono::duration<long double,
                                std::ratio<60,1>> operator""min(long double m)
{
    return std::chrono::duration<long double, ratio<60,1>> (m);
}

Notes

This operator is declared in the namespace std :: literals :: chrono_literals , where both literals and chrono_literals are inline namespaces . Access to this operator can be gained with:

• using namespace std :: literals ,
• using namespace std :: chrono_literals , or
• using namespace std :: literals :: chrono_literals .

In addition, within the namespace std :: chrono , the directive using namespace literals :: chrono_literals ; is provided by the standard library , so that if a programmer uses using namespace std :: chrono ; to gain access to the classes in the chrono library , the corresponding literal operators become visible as well.

Example

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    using namespace std::chrono_literals;
    auto lesson = 45min;
    auto halfmin = 0.5min;
    std::cout << "One lesson is " << lesson.count() << " minutes"
                 " (" << lesson << ")\n"
              << "Half a minute is " << halfmin.count() << " minutes"
                 " (" << halfmin << ")\n";
}

One lesson is 45 minutes (45min)
Half a minute is 0.5 minutes (0.5min)
