duration& operator=( const duration &other ) = default;		(since C++11)

Assigns the contents of one duration to another.

Parameters

other

-

duration to copy from

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
 
int main()
{
    using namespace std::chrono_literals;
 
    std::chrono::hours z_hours{};
    std::chrono::seconds z_seconds{};
 
    z_hours = 2h; // ok, no conversion needed
 
    z_seconds = z_hours;
      // First, the converting ctor is used to create a temporary object of `lhs`s type.
      // This ctor implicitly invokes the casting function
      // chrono::duration_cast<std::seconds>(z_hours). The resulting `rhs` rvalue
      // has the same type as `lhs`, and the `operator=` finally performs the assignment.
 
    std::cout << "hours: " << z_hours.count() << '\n';
    std::cout << "seconds: " << z_seconds.count() << '\n';
 
    z_seconds -= 42s;
 
//  z_hours = z_seconds; // compile-time error (which is good): incompatible types.
    // The library avoids the implicit cast to prevent a potential precision loss.
 
    z_hours = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::hours>(z_seconds); // ok
    z_hours = std::chrono::duration_cast<decltype(z_hours)>(z_seconds); // ditto
 
    std::cout << "hours: " << z_hours.count() << '\n';
    std::cout << "seconds: " << z_seconds.count() << '\n';
 
    std::chrono::duration<double, std::ratio<3600>> z2_hours{};
 
    z2_hours = z_seconds; // ok, no truncation, implicit cast
 
    std::cout << "hours: " << z2_hours.count() << '\n';
}

Output:

hours: 2
seconds: 7200
hours: 1
seconds: 7158
hours: 1.98833
