seconds_to_period: Contrive a period from a given number of seconds
Description
seconds_to_period uses estimates of time elements (in
seconds) to create the period that has the maximum number
of large elements(years > months > days > hours > minutes
> seconds) and roughly equates to a given number of
seconds. Note that the actual number of seconds in a
period depends on when the period occurs. Since there is
no one-to-one relationship between the periods that
seconds_to_period makes and the number of seconds given
as input, these periods should be treated as rough
estimates only.
Usage
seconds_to_period(x)
Arguments
x
A numeric object. The number of seconds to
coerce into a period.
Value
A period that roughly equates to the number of seconds
given.
