Ruby Language Time Creating time objects
Example
Get current time:
Time.now
Time.new # is equivalent if used with no parameters
Get specific time:
Time.new(2010, 3, 10) #10 March 2010 (Midnight)
Time.new(2015, 5, 3, 10, 14) #10:14 AM on 3 May 2015
Time.new(2050, "May", 3, 21, 8, 16, "+10:00") #09:08:16 PM on 3 May 2050
To convert a time to epoch you can use the to_i method:
Time.now.to_i # => 1478633386
You can also convert back from epoch to Time using the at method:
Time.at(1478633386) # => 2016-11-08 17:29:46 -0200
