Date/Time Older-Than N Seconds/Minutes/Hours/Days

Demonstrates the how to tell if a date/time is older than the current time by N seconds, minutes, hours, or days. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

dt = Chilkat::CkDateTime.new()

# Set to the current system date/time.
dt.SetFromCurrentSystemTime()
print "Now: " + dt.getAsTimestamp(true) + "\n";

# Subtract 10 minutes, making the date 10 minutes in the past.
dt.AddSeconds(-600)
print "10 minutes ago: " + dt.getAsTimestamp(true) + "\n";

# Is the date/time older than 10 seconds?
b = dt.OlderThan(10,"seconds")
print "Older than 10 seconds: " + b.to_s() + "\n";

# Is the date/time older than 5 minutes?
b = dt.OlderThan(5,"minutes")
print "Older than 5 minutes: " + b.to_s() + "\n";

# Is the date/time older than 15 minutes?
b = dt.OlderThan(15,"minutes")
print "Older than 15 minutes: " + b.to_s() + "\n";

# Is the date/time older than 1 hour?
b = dt.OlderThan(1,"hour")
print "Older than 1 hour: " + b.to_s() + "\n";

# Is the date/time older than 1 day?
b = dt.OlderThan(1,"day")
print "Older than 1 day: " + b.to_s() + "\n";

# Output:

# 	Now: 2017-05-05T23:33:06-0500
# 	10 minutes ago: 2017-05-05T23:23:06-0500
# 	Older than 10 seconds: True
# 	Older than 5 minutes: True
# 	Older than 15 minutes: False
# 	Older than 1 hour: False
# 	Older than 1 day: False
