Time Duration
The time duration is a measure of how many ticks have passed since a certain time point. The implementation is presented in this lesson.
We'll cover the following...
Time duration
Time duration is the difference between the two time-points. Time duration is measured in the number of ticks.

template <class Rep, class Period = ratio<1>> class duration;
If Rep is a floating-point number, the time duration supports fractions of ticks. The most important time durations are predefined in the chrono library:

typedef duration<signed int, nano> nanoseconds;typedef duration<signed int, micro> microseconds;typedef duration<signed int, milli> milliseconds;typedef duration<signed int> seconds;typedef duration<signed int, ratio< 60>> minutes;typedef duration<signed int, ratio<3600>> hours;
How long can a time duration be? The C++ standard guarantees that the predefined time durations can store +/- 292 ...
