How to calculate difference between two timestamps in Golang 1.20
0In this video we are going to generate source code for the GoLang Program, How to calculate difference between two timestamps using chatGPT.
After generating we will verify and run the generated code.
IMPORTANT NOTE on SOURCE CODE: only source code that are acceptable by the youtube description box will be displayed.
##############SOURCE CODE#########################
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
// create two timestamps
t1 := time.Date(2023, time.March, 28, 12, 10, 0, 0, time.UTC)
t2 := time.Date(2023, time.March, 28, 12, 59, 34, 0, time.UTC)
// calculate the difference between timestamps in seconds
diff := t2.Sub(t1).Seconds()
fmt.Printf("The difference between timestamps is %v seconds.\n", diff)
}
Below is the explanation for the program:
This program uses the time package to create two timestamps with the time.Date function.
The Sub method is used to calculate the difference between the timestamps in seconds. The result is stored in the diff variable.
Finally, the program prints the difference between the timestamps in seconds using the fmt.Printf function.
The %v format specifier is used to print the value of the diff variable.
Note that the Sub method returns a Duration value representing the difference between two times.
You can use other methods of the Duration type to extract the difference in other units such as minutes, hours, and days.
