Increments or decrements the number of ticks for this duration.

If rep_ is a member variable holding the number of ticks in a duration object,

1) Equivalent to ++rep_; return *this;
2) Equivalent to return duration(rep_++)
3) Equivalent to --rep_; return *this;
4) Equivalent to return duration(rep_--);

Parameters

(none)

Return value

1,3) a reference to this duration after modification
2,4) a copy of the duration made before modification

Example

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::chrono::hours h(1);
    std::chrono::minutes m = ++h;
    m--;
    std::cout << m.count() << " minutes\n";
}

Output:

119 minutes
