How to calculate seconds between two dates in Golang 1.20
0In this video we are going to generate source code for the GoLang Program, How to calculate seconds between two dates 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() {
// Dates to compare
date1 := time.Date(2022, time.January, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
date2 := time.Date(2023, time.January, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
// Compute difference between dates
diff := date2.Sub(date1)
// Convert difference to seconds
seconds := int(diff.Seconds())
// Print result
fmt.Printf("There are %d seconds between %v and %v\n", seconds, date1, date2)
}
Below is the explanation for the program:
The program uses the time package to represent the two dates that we want to compare.
In this example, we're comparing January 1st, 2022 and January 1st, 2023.
The program then computes the difference between the two dates using the Sub method of the time.Time type.
The Sub method returns a time.Duration value representing the difference between two times.
We then convert the duration to seconds by calling the Seconds method of the time.Duration type,
which returns a floating-point number representing the number of seconds in the duration.
We use the int function to convert the result to an integer.
Finally, we print the number of seconds using the fmt.Printf function.
You can modify the program to compare any two dates you want by changing the date1 and date2 variables.
