public:
static TimeSpan operator -(TimeSpan t1, TimeSpan t2);
public static TimeSpan operator - (TimeSpan t1, TimeSpan t2);
static member ( - ) : TimeSpan * TimeSpan -> TimeSpan
Public Shared Operator - (t1 As TimeSpan, t2 As TimeSpan) As TimeSpan
Parameters
- t1
- TimeSpan
The minuend.
- t2
- TimeSpan
The subtrahend.
Returns
An object whose value is the result of the value of t1
minus the value of t2
.
Exceptions
The return value is less than TimeSpan.MinValue or greater than TimeSpan.MaxValue.
Examples
The following example uses the TimeSpan subtraction operator to calculate the total length of the weekly work day. It also uses the TimeSpan addition operator to compute the total time of the daily breaks before using it in a subtraction operation to compute the total actual daily working time.
var startWork = new TimeSpan(08,00,00);
var endWork = new TimeSpan(18,30,00);
var lunchBreak = new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0);
var breaks = new TimeSpan(0, 30, 0);
Console.WriteLine("Length of work day: {0}",
endWork - startWork);
Console.WriteLine("Actual time worked: {0}",
endWork - startWork - (lunchBreak + breaks));
// The example displays the following output:
// Length of work day: 10:30:00
// Actual time worked: 09:00:00
let startWork = TimeSpan(08,00,00)
let endWork = TimeSpan(18,30,00)
let lunchBreak = TimeSpan(1, 0, 0)
let breaks = TimeSpan(0, 30, 0)
printfn $"Length of work day: {endWork - startWork}"
printfn $"Actual time worked: {endWork - startWork - (lunchBreak + breaks)}"
// The example displays the following output:
// Length of work day: 10:30:00
// Actual time worked: 09:00:00
Module Example
Public Sub Main()
Dim startWork As New TimeSpan(08,00,00)
Dim endWork As New TimeSpan(18,30,00)
Dim lunchBreak As New TimeSpan(1, 0, 0)
Dim breaks As New TimeSpan(0, 30, 0)
Console.WriteLine("Length of work day: {0}",
endWork - startWork)
Console.WriteLine("Actual time worked: {0}",
endwork - startwork - (lun\chBreak + breaks))
End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
' Length of work day: 10:30:00
' Actual time worked: 09:00:00
Remarks
The equivalent method for this operator is TimeSpan.Subtract(TimeSpan)
