template< class Rep1, class Period1, class Rep2, class Period2 > constexpr bool operator==( const std::chrono::duration<Rep1, Period1>& lhs, const std::chrono::duration<Rep2, Period2>& rhs );

 (1) (since C++11)

template< class Rep1, class Period1, class Rep2, class Period2 > constexpr bool operator!=( const std::chrono::duration<Rep1, Period1>& lhs, const std::chrono::duration<Rep2, Period2>& rhs );

 (2) (since C++11)
(until C++20)

template< class Rep1, class Period1, class Rep2, class Period2 > constexpr bool operator<( const std::chrono::duration<Rep1, Period1>& lhs, const std::chrono::duration<Rep2, Period2>& rhs );

 (3) (since C++11)

template< class Rep1, class Period1, class Rep2, class Period2 > constexpr bool operator<=( const std::chrono::duration<Rep1, Period1>& lhs, const std::chrono::duration<Rep2, Period2>& rhs );

 (4) (since C++11)

template< class Rep1, class Period1, class Rep2, class Period2 > constexpr bool operator>( const std::chrono::duration<Rep1, Period1>& lhs, const std::chrono::duration<Rep2, Period2>& rhs );

 (5) (since C++11)

template< class Rep1, class Period1, class Rep2, class Period2 > constexpr bool operator>=( const std::chrono::duration<Rep1, Period1>& lhs, const std::chrono::duration<Rep2, Period2>& rhs );

 (6) (since C++11)

template< class Rep1, class Period1, class Rep2, class Period2 > requires std::three_way_comparable<std::common_type_t<Rep1, Rep2>> constexpr auto operator<=>( const std::chrono::duration<Rep1, Period1>& lhs, const std::chrono::duration<Rep2, Period2>& rhs );

 (7) (since C++20)

Compares two durations. Let CT be std::common_type<std::chrono::duration<Rep1, Period1>, std::chrono::duration<Rep2, Period2>>::type:

1,2) Checks if lhs and rhs are equal, i.e. the number of ticks for the type common to both durations are equal.

3-6) Compares lhs to rhs, i.e. compares the number of ticks for the type common to both durations.

7) Compares lhs to rhs, i.e. compares the number of ticks for the type common to both durations. The return type is deduced from CT(lhs).count() <=> CT(rhs).count().

The != operator is synthesized from operator==.

(since C++20)

Parameters

lhs - duration on the left-hand side of the operator
rhs - duration on the right-hand side of the operator

Return value

1) CT(lhs).count() == CT(rhs).count()

2) !(lhs == rhs)

3) CT(lhs).count() < CT(rhs).count()

4) !(rhs < lhs)

5) rhs < lhs

6) !(lhs < rhs)

7) CT(lhs).count() <=> CT(rhs).count()

Example

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    constexpr auto t1 = std::chrono::seconds(2);
    constexpr auto t2 = std::chrono::milliseconds(2000);

    if constexpr (t1 == t2)
        std::cout << t1 << " == " << t2 << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << t1 << " != " << t2 << '\n';

    constexpr auto t3 = std::chrono::seconds(61);
    constexpr auto t4 = std::chrono::minutes(1);

    if constexpr (t3 > t4)
        std::cout << t3 << " > " << t4 << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << t3 << " <= " << t4 << '\n';

    using namespace std::chrono_literals;

    static_assert(1h == 60min);
    static_assert(1min == 60s);
    static_assert(1s == 1'000ms);
    static_assert(1ms == 1'000us);
    static_assert(1us == 1'000ns);
}
