Defined in header <chrono>
template< class Rep, class Period > constexpr std::chrono::duration<Rep, Period> abs( std::chrono::duration<Rep, Period> d );		(since C++17)

Returns the absolute value of the duration d. Specifically, if d >= d.zero(), return d, otherwise return -d.

The function does not participate in the overload resolution unless std::numeric_limits<Rep>::is_signed is true.

Parameters

d

-

duration

Return value

Absolute value of d.

Possible implementation

template<class Rep, class Period, class = std::enable_if_t<std::numeric_limits<Rep>::is_signed>> constexpr std::chrono::duration<Rep, Period> abs(std::chrono::duration<Rep, Period> d) { return d >= d.zero() ? +d : -d; }

Example

Run this code

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    using namespace std::chrono;
 
    static_assert(abs(-42s) == std::chrono::abs(42s));
 
    std::cout << "abs(+3min) = " << abs(3min).count() << '\n'
              << "abs(-3min) = " << abs(-3min).count() << '\n';
}

Output:

abs(+3min) = 3
abs(-3min) = 3
