date_seq: Sequences: date and date-time

Description

date_seq() generates a date (Date) or date-time (POSIXct/POSIXlt) sequence.

There are separate help pages for generating sequences for dates and date-times:

• dates (Date)

• date-times (POSIXct/POSIXlt)

Usage

date_seq(from, ..., to = NULL, by = NULL, total_size = NULL)

Value

A date or date-time vector.

Arguments

from

[Date(1) / POSIXct(1) / POSIXlt(1)]

A date or date-time to start the sequence from.

...

These dots are for future extensions and must be empty.

to

[Date(1) / POSIXct(1) / POSIXlt(1) / NULL]

A date or date-time to stop the sequence at.

to is only included in the result if the resulting sequence divides the distance between from and to exactly.

by

[integer(1) / clock_duration(1) / NULL]

The unit to increment the sequence by.

total_size

[positive integer(1) / NULL]

The size of the resulting sequence.

If specified alongside to, this must generate a non-fractional sequence between from and to.

Examples

# See method specific documentation for more examples

x <- as.Date("2019-01-01")
date_seq(x, by = duration_months(2), total_size = 20)
