IntervalDS Class

The IntervalDS class encapsulates time interval calculations in terms of days, hours, minutes, seconds, and fractional seconds. Leading field precision will be determined by number of decimal digits in day input. Fraction second precision will be determined by number of fraction digits on input.

Table 12-19 Fields of IntervalDS Class

Field Type Description
day int Day component. Valid values are -10^9 through 10^9.
hour int Hour component. Valid values are -23 through 23.
minute int Minute component. Valid values are -59 through 59.
second int Second component. Valid values are -59 through 59.
fs int Fractional second component. Constructs a NULL IntervalDS object. A NULL intervalDS can be initialized by assignment or calling fromText method. Methods that can be called on NULL intervalDS objects are setName() and isNull().

Example 12-6 How to Create, Assign Values, and Use an Empty IntervalDS Object through Direct Assignment

This example demonstrates how the default constructor creates a NULL value, and how you can assign a non NULL value to a day-second interval and then perform operations on it.

Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment();

// Create a NULL day-second interval
IntervalDS ds;
if(ds.isNull())
   cout << "\n ds is null";

// Assign a non-NULL value to ds
IntervalDS anotherDS(env, "10 20:14:10.2");
ds = anotherDS;

// Now all operations on IntervalDS are valid
int DAY = ds.getDay();

Example 12-7 How to Create, Assign Values, and Use an Empty IntervalDS Object through fromText() and toText() Methods

This example demonstrates how to create a NULL day-second interval, initialize the day-second interval by using the fromText() method, add to the day-second interval by using the += operator, multiply by using the * operator, compare 2 day-second intervals, and convert a day-second interval to a string by using the toText method:

Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment();

// Create a null day-second interval
IntervalDS ds1

// Initialize a null day-second interval by using the fromText method
ds1.fromText("20 10:20:30.9","",env);

IntervalDS addWith(env,2,1);
ds1 += addWith;    //call += operator

IntervalDS mulDs1=ds1 * Number(env,10);  
                   //call * operator
if(ds1==mulDs1)    //call == operator
   .
   .
string strds=ds1.toText(2,4);                       //2 is leading field precision
                   //4 is the fractional field precision

Parameter Description
inpstr
Input string representing a day second interval of the form 'days hours:minutes:seconds', for example, '10 20:14:10.2'
nlsParam
