Package Exports

@stdlib/constants-time-seconds-in-day

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/constants-time-seconds-in-day) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Number of seconds in a day.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/constants-time-seconds-in-day

Usage

var SECONDS_IN_DAY = require( '@stdlib/constants-time-seconds-in-day' );

Number of seconds in a day.

var bool = ( SECONDS_IN_DAY === 86400 );
// returns true

Notes

The value is a generalization and does not take into account inaccuracies due to daylight savings conventions, crossing timezones, or other complications with time and dates.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var roundn = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-roundn' );
var SECONDS_IN_DAY = require( '@stdlib/constants-time-seconds-in-day' );

var days;
var secs;
var i;

function days2secs( days ) {
    return days * SECONDS_IN_DAY;
}

for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
    days = roundn( randu()*20.0, -2 );
    secs = days2secs( days );
    console.log( '%d days => %d seconds', days, secs );
}
