TimeUnit
Library for conversion a time unit to another.
Purpose
Add possibility to use different time units in
code - not only seconds:
sub beep-after($time, TimeUnit:D $unit) { ... }
beep-after(5, hours);
beep-after(3, seconds);
Add a simple way for conversion time units from
one to another without any 'magic numbers' in code:
say 'In 36 hours contains ', seconds.from(:36hours), ' seconds.';
Exported constants
nanos - just nanoseconds;
micros - is a thousand of nanoseconds;
millis - is a thousand of microseconds;
seconds - is a thousand of milliseconds;
minutes - is sixty seconds;
hours - is sixty minutes;
days - is twenty four hours;
Available methods
With any constants you can use methods from, to-nanos, to-micros, to-millis,
to-seconds, to-minutes, to-hours, to-days for conversion numbers
from one unit to another like this:
nanos.to-hours(432); # convert 432 nanosecons to 0.00000000012 hour
hours.from(90, minutes); # retrieve 1.5 hours from 90 minutes
seconds.from(:17minutes); # retrieve 1020 seconds 17 minutes in short named form
minutes.from(hours => 3.6);
# retrieve 216 minutes from 3.6 (3:36) hours in full named form
