An arbitrary size and precision date and time stored using a BigReal.
Get Started
$ dotnet add package BigDateTimeReadme
BigDateTime
A more flexible alternative to DateTime in C# that can represent any date and time, even 60242/1/5 23:59:22.
The first of its kind to my knowledge.
Features
- Supports arbitrary-size dates (DateTime only supports years 1 to 9999)
- Supports abitrary-precision times (DateTime is only precise to 100 nanoseconds / 0.0000001 seconds)
- Highly performant (takes algorithms from DateTime)
Examples
100,000 Years From Now
Console.WriteLine(BigDateTime.Now().AddYears(100_000)); // 102024/10/24 23:59:44
Realtime Clock
Console.CursorVisible = false;
while (true) {
Console.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.CursorTop);
Console.Write(BigDateTime.Now().ToLongString().PadRight(50));
Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.05));
}
