This Haskell code demonstrates working with times and durations. Here’s an explanation of the key parts:
We use the Data.Time and Data.Time.Clock.POSIX modules for time-related functionality.
getCurrentTime is used to get the current time.
We create a specific time using UTCTime and fromGregorian.
Various helper functions (utctYear, utctMonth, etc.) are defined to extract components from a UTCTime.
Time comparison is done using standard comparison operators (<, >, ==).
diffUTCTime is used to calculate the duration between two times.
We convert the duration to different units using nominalDiffTimeToSeconds.
addUTCTime is used to add or subtract durations from a time.
To run this program, save it to a file (e.g., time_example.hs) and use the following commands:
This will compile and run the Haskell program, displaying various time-related outputs.
Note that Haskell’s time handling is somewhat different from Go’s. Haskell uses UTCTime for absolute times and NominalDiffTime for durations. The concept is similar, but the specific functions and types differ.
