public static member function
<chrono>
std::chrono::duration::zero
static constexpr duration zero();
Zero value
Returns a duration value of zero.
The function calls duration_value::zero to obtain the zero value for its internal count object:
1
2
3
static constexpr duration zero() {
return duration_values<rep>::zero();
}
Return value
A duration object with a value of zero.
