Time Duration Calculations
Explore how to calculate and compare time durations in C++ using arithmetic operations and time literals introduced in C++14. Understand unit safety in calculations and leverage compile-time evaluation for precise time management in concurrent programming.

The time durations support basic arithmetic operations, meaning you can multiply or divide a time duration by a number. Of course, you can compare time durations. I explicitly want to emphasize that all these calculations and comparisons respect the units.
With the C++14 standard, it gets even better; the C++14 standard supports the typical time literals.
