Golang, get the difference between two times in days
Hi Friends 👋,
Welcome To aGuideHub! ❤️
To get the difference between two times in days,
subtract times using the time
Sub()
method.Use the
Hours()
method to get difference time in hours and divide it by/ 24
.
Today, I’m going to show you how do you get the difference between two times in days in golang, here we will use the golang time.Sub()
method to subtract time, and time.Hours()
to get the difference in days.
Let’s start today’s tutorial How do I get difference between two times in days in golang?
Here, we are going to do,
Define two date times object.
Use
Sub()
to get difference time.Use the
Hours()
method and divide it by/ 24
to get the difference in days.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
currentTime := time.Now()
oldTime := time.Date(2020, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
diff := currentTime.Sub(oldTime)
//In Days
fmt.Printf("Days: %f\n", diff.Hours() / 24)
}
The above program will print a number of days between two dates in the golang console, let’s check the output.
All the best 👍
