time-point-arithmetic {clock} | R Documentation |
These are naive-time and sys-time methods for the arithmetic generics.
add_weeks()
add_days()
add_hours()
add_minutes()
add_seconds()
add_milliseconds()
add_microseconds()
add_nanoseconds()
When working with zoned times, generally you convert to either sys-time or naive-time, add the duration, then convert back to zoned time. Typically, weeks and days are added in naive-time, and hours, minutes, seconds, and subseconds are added in sys-time.
If you aren't using zoned times, arithmetic on sys-times and naive-time is equivalent.
If you need to add larger irregular units of time, such as months, quarters,
or years, convert to a calendar type with a converter like
as_year_month_day()
.

x |
A time point vector. |
n |
An integer vector to be converted to a duration, or a duration
corresponding to the arithmetic function being used. This corresponds
to the number of duration units to add. |

These dots are for future extensions and must be empty. |
x
and n
are recycled against each other.
x
after performing the arithmetic.

If you sat still for exactly 86,400 seconds, this is the # time that you would see after daylight saving time adjusted the clock # (note that the hour field is shifted forward by the size of the gap) as_sys_time(x) x %>% as_sys_time() %>% add_days(1) %>% as_zoned_time(zoned_time_zone(x)) # Alternatively, you can add 1 day in "naive time". Naive time represents # a clock time with a yet-to-be-specified time zone. It tries to maintain # smaller units where possible, so adding 1 day would attempt to return # "1970-04-26T02:30:00" in the America/New_York time zone, but... as_naive_time(x) try({ x %>% as_naive_time() %>% add_days(1) %>% as_zoned_time(zoned_time_zone(x)) }) # ...this time doesn't exist in that time zone! It is "nonexistent". # You can resolve nonexistent times by setting the `nonexistent` argument # when converting to zoned time. Let's roll forward to the next available # moment in time. x %>% as_naive_time() %>% add_days(1) %>% as_zoned_time(zoned_time_zone(x), nonexistent = "roll-forward")
