Using Date and TimeInterval
- [Narrator] The song says, time is on my side, but sometimes I wonder about that when trying to work with the time types in iOS. Let me show you some of the time types.

Var minute colon time interval equals 60.0 time interval is a length of time in seconds. Time interval is also an alias for double so you can use doubles anywhere you use time intervals. I can, for example, make another constant here for hour. And just make that 3600.0 which is 3600 seconds equals one hour. I can also do computations there, so I can do let day equal hour times 24.0 and that gives me my 86,400 seconds in a day. So that's the basics of time interval it's just pretty much a number. The simplest date representation is from the type date. You can do that with a var date equals date and you'll see that it has a date that shows up when I do that. You…
