1 # A +Time+ object represents a date and time:
3 # Time.new(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 -0600
5 # Although its value can be expressed as a single numeric
6 # (see {Epoch Seconds}[rdoc-ref:Time@Epoch+Seconds] below),
7 # it can be convenient to deal with the value by parts:
9 # t = Time.new(-2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0.0)
10 # # => -2000-01-01 00:00:00 -0600
19 # t = Time.new(2000, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59.5)
20 # # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 -0600
31 # <i>Epoch seconds</i> is the exact number of seconds
32 # (including fractional subseconds) since the Unix Epoch, January 1, 1970.
34 # You can retrieve that value exactly using method Time.to_r:
36 # Time.at(0).to_r # => (0/1)
37 # Time.at(0.999999).to_r # => (9007190247541737/9007199254740992)
39 # Other retrieval methods such as Time#to_i and Time#to_f
40 # may return a value that rounds or truncates subseconds.
44 # A +Time+ object derived from the system clock
45 # (for example, by method Time.now)
46 # has the resolution supported by the system.
50 # All of these examples were done using the EST timezone which is GMT-5.
52 # === Creating a New +Time+ Instance
54 # You can create a new instance of Time with Time.new. This will use the
55 # current system time. Time.now is an alias for this. You can also
56 # pass parts of the time to Time.new such as year, month, minute, etc. When
57 # you want to construct a time this way you must pass at least a year. If you
58 # pass the year with nothing else time will default to January 1 of that year
59 # at 00:00:00 with the current system timezone. Here are some examples:
61 # Time.new(2002) #=> 2002-01-01 00:00:00 -0500
62 # Time.new(2002, 10) #=> 2002-10-01 00:00:00 -0500
63 # Time.new(2002, 10, 31) #=> 2002-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
65 # You can pass a UTC offset:
67 # Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, "+02:00") #=> 2002-10-31 02:02:02 +0200
69 # Or {a timezone object}[rdoc-ref:Time@Timezone+Objects]:
71 # zone = timezone("Europe/Athens") # Eastern European Time, UTC+2
72 # Time.new(2002, 10, 31, 2, 2, 2, zone) #=> 2002-10-31 02:02:02 +0200
74 # You can also use Time.local and Time.utc to infer
75 # local and UTC timezones instead of using the current system
78 # You can also create a new time using Time.at which takes the number of
79 # seconds (with subsecond) since the {Unix
80 # Epoch}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time].
82 # Time.at(628232400) #=> 1989-11-28 00:00:00 -0500
84 # === Working with an Instance of +Time+
86 # Once you have an instance of Time there is a multitude of things you can
87 # do with it. Below are some examples. For all of the following examples, we
88 # will work on the assumption that you have done the following:
90 # t = Time.new(1993, 02, 24, 12, 0, 0, "+09:00")
96 # What year was that again?
100 # Was it daylight savings at the time?
104 # What's the day a year later?
106 # t + (60*60*24*365) #=> 1994-02-24 12:00:00 +0900
108 # How many seconds was that since the Unix Epoch?
110 # t.to_i #=> 730522800
112 # You can also do standard functions like compare two times.
114 # t1 = Time.new(2010)
115 # t2 = Time.new(2011)
122 # Time.new(2010,10,31).between?(t1, t2) #=> true
