Summary

This chapter introduced libraries for measuring time and calculating dates. This chapter gets you up and running with the basics of date and time calculations, without covering the intricate details about sophisticated calendar calculations, time zone awareness, and custom and locale-specific formatting. The Boost online documentation is an excellent source for these details.
