Usage

is.POSIXt(x)

is.POSIXlt(x)

is.POSIXct(x)

POSIXct(length = 0L, tz = "UTC")

NA_POSIXct_

Format

An object of class POSIXct (inherits from POSIXt) of length 1.

Arguments

x

length

A non-negative number specifying the desired length. Supplying an argument of length other than one is an error.

tz

a timezone (defaults to "utc")

Value

TRUE if x is a POSIXct or POSIXlt object, FALSE otherwise.

Examples

is.POSIXt(as.Date("2009-08-03"))
#> [1] FALSE
is.POSIXt(as.POSIXct("2009-08-03"))
#> [1] TRUE
