Interval - a DateTime that has intervals
use Interval;
my $a = Interval.new(2020,1,1,0,0,0); # from 2020, interval of 1 hour
say $a; # 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
$a++; # 2020-01-01T01:00:00Z # one hour later
say $a.seconds; # 3600
my $b = Interval[60].new(time); # from now, interval of 1 minute
say $b; # 2020-04-03T11:42:09Z
$b += 10;
say $b; # 2020-04-03T11:52:09Z # ten minutes later
The Interval class is a parameterizable subclass of DateTime that incorporates interval information (in seconds), and the .succ and .pred methods, which allow it to be used as endpoints in Range (aka ..) or series (aka ...). Or allow it to be incremented or decremented to get to after the interval. Or add / subtract a given number of intervals.
The parameterization value is in seconds and defaults to 3600, aka 1 hour.
Produces the "next" Interval object.
Produces the "previous" Interval object.
Returns the number of seconds of the interval.
my $b = Interval[60].new(time); # from now, interval of 1 minute
say $b; # 2020-04-03T11:42:09Z
$b += 10;
say $b; # 2020-04-03T11:52:09Z # ten minutes later
Allows adding a number of steps of the interval;
Allows subtracting a number of steps of the interval;
