Hello,
?DateTimeClasses states that "one can add or subtract a number of
seconds or a 'difftime' object from a date-time object, but not add two
date-time objects."
So, is the below expected behavior?
> x <- Sys.time()
> x
[1] "2007-02-21 16:19:56 CST"
> x + as.difftime("1","%H")
[1] "2007-02-21 16:19:57 CST"
Warning message:
Incompatible methods ("+.POSIXt", "Ops.difftime") for "+"
"+.POSIXt" does behave as expected, though:
> "+.POSIXt"(x,as.difftime("1","%H"))
