YearDuration | Time unit. one calendar year. 1 year = 365 days = 31536000 seconds.[and full SUMO definition] |
|
YearFn | A UnaryFunction that maps a number to the corresponding calendar Year. For example, (YearFn 1912) returns the Class containing just one instance, the year of 1912.

The reason for this is that the related functions, viz. MonthFn, DayFn, HourFn, MinuteFn, and SecondFn, are used to generate both specific TimeIntervals and recurrent intervals, and the only way to do this is to make the domains and ranges of these functions classes rather than individuals.[and full SUMO definition] |
