Method Reference: calendarDuration.datevec

calendarDuration: DV = datevec (calD)
calendarDuration: [Y, MO] = datevec (calD)
calendarDuration: [Y, MO, D] = datevec (calD)
calendarDuration: [Y, MO, D, H] = datevec (calD)
calendarDuration: [Y, MO, D, H, MI] = datevec (calD)
calendarDuration: [Y, MO, D, H, MI, S] = datevec (calD)

Convert calendarDuration array to date vectors.

DV = datevec (calD) returns an N×6 numeric matrix, where N is the number of elements in calD and the columns corresponds to years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, respectively.

When datevec is called with more than one output arguments, then it returns the components of the date vectors as individual variables Y, MO, D, H, MI,and S corresponding to years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, respectively. In this case, the individual variables have the same size as the input array calD.

Example: 1

datevec returns the span as a numeric row [Y MO D H MI S] per element, handy for feeding the raw components into other calculations.

 d = calendarDuration (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
