std::chrono::duration::count(3)

NAME
std::chrono::duration::count - std::chrono::duration::count

Synopsis
   constexpr rep count() const; (since C++11)
   Returns the number of ticks for this duration.

Parameters
   (none)

Return value
   The number of ticks for this duration.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <chrono>
 #include <iostream>
 int main()
 {
     std::chrono::milliseconds ms{3}; // 3 milliseconds
     // 6000 microseconds constructed from 3 milliseconds
     std::chrono::microseconds us = 2 * ms;
     // 30Hz clock using fractional ticks
     std::chrono::duration<double, std::ratio<1, 30>> hz30(3.5);
     std::cout << "3 ms duration has " << ms.count() << " ticks\n"
               << "6000 us duration has " << us.count() << " ticks\n"
               << "3.5 30Hz duration has " << hz30.count() << " ticks\n";
 }

Output:
 3 ms duration has 3 ticks
 6000 us duration has 6000 ticks
 3.5 30Hz duration has 3.5 ticks
