C++20: Query Calendar Dates and Ordinal DatesApril 22, 2024 - 9:53 am
The extended chrono library makes it relatively easy to ask for the time duration between calendar dates. This post is the sixth in my detailed journey through the chrono extension in C++20: Query Calendar Dates Without further ado, the following program queryCalendarDates.cpp queries a few calendar dates. // queryCalendarDates.cpp #include <chrono> #include <iostream> int main() […]
