Details

A convenience function to convert arbitrary numbers of days, hours, minutes, and/or seconds into seconds. For example, to be used in setting a HIT expiration time. MTurk only accepts times (e.g., for HIT expirations, or the duration of assignments) in seconds. This function returns an integer value equal to the number of seconds of the input, and can be used atomically within other MTurkR calls (e.g., CreateHIT).
