About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
hoursInYear
Determine the number of hours in a year according to the Gregorian calendar.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/time-hours-in-year
Usage
var hoursInYear = require( '@stdlib/time-hours-in-year' );
hoursInYear( [value] )
Returns the number of hours in a year according to the Gregorian calendar.
var num = hoursInYear();
// returns <number>
By default, the function returns the number of hours in the current year (according to local time). To determine the number of hours for a particular year, provide either a year or a Date
object.
var num = hoursInYear( new Date() );
// returns <number>
num = hoursInYear( 2000 );
// returns 8784
num = hoursInYear( 2017 );
// returns 8760
Notes
- The function's return value is a generalization and does not take into account inaccuracies due to daylight savings conventions, crossing timezones, or other complications with time and dates.
Examples
var hoursInYear = require( '@stdlib/time-hours-in-year' );
var v;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 2021; i++ ) {
v = hoursInYear( i );
console.log( 'The year %d has %d hours.', i, v );
}
