Calculate Time

[_pi]

How to calculate time?

start 8:30 o'clock
end 15:00 o'clock
pause 30 minutes

time-worked-hours-and-minutes=(end -start in minutes) - pause

can you show me example code please?
i guess DateTime should be used?

If stored in variables, can use operator -.

vDiff=vEnd-vBegin-vPause

Gintaras,

Can you return to this VERY SIMPLE example and actually provide the code for this. I have a need that is precisely laid out here. I HAVE spent a lot of time attempting to work through the documentation for DateTime BUT it is pretty cryptic for my mind! Sorry!

start 8:30 o'clock
end 15:00 o'clock
pause 30 minutes
Total time =

AND AS ALWAYS, 'Thank You!'
