[ Duration ]
[Duration] casts values as a duration data type, which represents a length of time in hours, minutes, and seconds. The [Duration] method takes several forms.
The first form accepts a start date parameter and an end date parameter, and returns the duration between the two dates.
The second form accepts a start date string parameter and an end date string parameter, and returns the duration between the two dates.
The third form accepts a single integer parameter as the number of seconds, and returns the duration.
The fourth form accepts -Year, -Week, -Day, -Hour, -Minute, and -Second parameters for the specified number of years, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, and returns the duration.
The fifth form accepts a time string in the form of hh:mm:ss, and returns the duration.
