Boundaries: calendars

Description

• calendar_start() computes the start of a calendar at a particular precision, such as the "start of the quarter".

• calendar_end() computes the end of a calendar at a particular precision, such as the "end of the month".

For both calendar_start() and calendar_end(), the precision of x is always retained.

Each calendar has its own help page describing the precisions that you can compute a boundary at:

• year-month-day

• year-month-weekday

• year-week-day

• iso-year-week-day

• year-quarter-day

• year-day

Usage

calendar_start(x, precision)

calendar_end(x, precision)

Arguments

x	⁠[calendar]⁠ A calendar vector.
precision	⁠[character(1)]⁠ A precision. Allowed precisions are dependent on the calendar used.

Value

x at the same precision, but with some components altered to be at the boundary value.

Examples

# Hour precision
x <- year_month_day(2019, 2:4, 5, 6)
x

# Compute the start of the month
calendar_start(x, "month")

# Or the end of the month, notice that the hour value is adjusted as well
calendar_end(x, "month")
