Duration Arithmetic (add durations together)

Open jmorgannz opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Use case:

Calculate multiple durations together in hours:minutes[:seconds] format and get a result in hours:minutes:seconds using standard math functions - mainly addition / subtraction / divide / multiply.

I went looking for this function in calculator, and given it's breadth of functionality and how common having to add durations together is, I was surprised this was missing.

If this is kept to hours, minutes, seconds, then this should be as simple as implementing sexagesimal math.
Obviously if days and milliseconds etc are included then it's more complicated than that.
