Arithmetic with different Time Zones/Day Light Savings

[Fredo XVII]

Hello,

I have time stamps in different time zones, and I am subtracting (%--%) them to get the interval between the 2 time periods.  

My question is, if the time stamp has the time zone local to the time stamp, when I subtract the time stamp from a location in a different time zone, will %--% account for the differences in time zones?

Will it also account for changes in Day Light Savings time? So for example if my destination is Arizona and my origination is Colorado, will my the duration calculate a similar duration during the day light savings?

Thank you!

Alfredo

I believe I figured it out.  See below:

#UTC duration: "106236s (~1.23 days)", 29.51 hours

ymd_hms("2018-12-01 00:36:18") %--% ymd_hms("2018-12-02 06:06:54") %>% as.duration() / lubridate::dhours(1)

# Local time zones: "109836s (~1.27 days)", 30.51 hours

ymd_hms("2018-12-01 00:36:18",tz = "America/Indiana/Indianapolis") %--% ymd_hms("2018-12-02 06:06:54", tz = "America/Chicago") %>% as.duration() / lubridate::dhours(1)

The local time is the correct duration, so the interval does take into account the time zone.  

Thanks,

Alfredo
