Hi all, I used strptime() to convert character strings to time and did some subtraction calculation.
a<-'2012-07-17T07:50' b<-'2012-08-27T09:30' strptime(a,format='%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M')-strptime(b,format='%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M') The result shows Time difference of -41.06944 days. However when these operations performed in a dataframe, the time difference is in the unit of seconds. Why is that? What I really want is in hours. I know I can convert the results manually to hours but just wonder if there is way to control the unit. Thanks.
