/* This example demonstrates a simple use of periods for the calculation of date information. The example calculates if a given date is a weekend or holiday given an exclusion set. That is, each weekend or holiday is entered into the set as a time interval. Then if a given date is contained within any of the intervals it is considered to be within the exclusion set and hence is a offtime. Output: Number Excluded Periods: 5 20020202/20020203 20020209/20020210 20020212/20020212 20020216/20020217 In Exclusion Period: 20020216 --> 20020216/20020217 20020223/20020224 */ #include "boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp" #include #include #include typedef std::set date_period_set; //Simple population of the exclusion set date_period_set generateExclusion() { using namespace boost::gregorian; date_period periods_array[] = { date_period(date(2002,Feb,2), date(2002,Feb,4)),//weekend of 2nd-3rd date_period(date(2002,Feb,9), date(2002,Feb,11)), date_period(date(2002,Feb,16), date(2002,Feb,18)), date_period(date(2002,Feb,23), date(2002,Feb,25)), date_period(date(2002,Feb,12), date(2002,Feb,13))//a random holiday 2-12 }; const int num_periods = sizeof(periods_array)/sizeof(date_period); date_period_set ps; //insert the periods in the set std::insert_iterator itr(ps, ps.begin()); std::copy(periods_array, periods_array+num_periods, itr ); return ps; } int main() { using namespace boost::gregorian; date_period_set ps = generateExclusion(); std::cout << "Number Excluded Periods: " << ps.size() << std::endl; date d(2002,Feb,16); date_period_set::const_iterator i = ps.begin(); //print the periods, check for containment for (;i != ps.end(); i++) { std::cout << to_iso_string(*i) << std::endl; //if date is in exclusion period then print it if (i->contains(d)) { std::cout << "In Exclusion Period: " << to_iso_string(d) << " --> " << to_iso_string(*i) << std::endl; } } return 0; } /* Copyright 2001-2004: CrystalClear Software, Inc * http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com * * Subject to the Boost Software License, Version 1.0. * (See accompanying file LICENSE_1_0.txt or http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt) */
