duration to number(double)

Any workaround to convert duration (seconds, hours, etc...) to a numeric value (double)

Answer 1

[Steven Lord]

Use seconds, hours, etc. depending on how you want the duration array to be converted to a number.

d = duration(1, 2, 3)

d = duration
   01:02:03

s = seconds(d)

s = 3723

m = minutes(d)

m = 62.0500

h = hours(d)

h = 1.0342

what i really looking its for the numerical value as "double" data type. By using the suggested functions im still getting the output as a "duration" data type.

[Walter Roberson]

No, those outputs s, m, h are double() not duration()

If the input to seconds() is a double then it constructs a duration() of that many seconds long.

If the input to seconds() is a duration then it examines the duration information and converts units to seconds as a double()

and how to convert duration 901 days to 901 (numeric only)?

[Walter Roberson]

When you apply minutes() or seconds() or days() or hours() to a double, then a duration object is created.

When you apply those functions to duration objects, double values are created.

For example

hours(days(7.2))

[Juan Camilo Gómez Cadavid]

if the argument to any of these functions : seconds, minutes, hours, etc... its a duration class, the output will be a numeric datatype (double)

Instead, if the argument to any of these functions is numeric, value will be converted to duration
