Interpretation

Examples

Basic Examples  (3)

Interpret Unix times:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["UnixTime"]["1429297335"]
Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["UnixTime"]["1577836800"]

Use negative integers for times before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["UnixTime"]["-123456789"]

Restrict the value to be within a given range:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter[Restricted["UnixTime", {DateObject[{1970, 1, 1}], DateObject[{1980, 1, 1}]}]]["2.3e9"]

Use a custom number separator:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["UnixTime", NumberSeparator -> "."]["1.577.836.800"]

Set a resolution of minutes:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter[Restricted["UnixTime", {-Infinity, Now, "Minute"}]]["120"]
Wolfram Language code: Interpreter[Restricted["UnixTime", {-Infinity, Now, "Minute"}]]["155"]
