How to Apply the as.POSIXlt Function in R (Example Code)
In this tutorial, I’ll demonstrate how to manipulate date and time objects using the as.POSIXlt function in the R programming language.
Construction of Example Data
my_dates <- c("2021-10-13 09:12:39", # Create vector of dates "2026-05-07 07:40:53", "2023-03-01 11:31:22") my_dates # [1] "2021-10-13 09:12:39" "2026-05-07 07:40:53" "2023-03-01 11:31:22" |
my_dates <- c("2021-10-13 09:12:39", # Create vector of dates "2026-05-07 07:40:53", "2023-03-01 11:31:22") my_dates # [1] "2021-10-13 09:12:39" "2026-05-07 07:40:53" "2023-03-01 11:31:22"
Example: How to Apply the as.POSIXlt() Function
as.POSIXlt(my_dates) # Using as.POSIXlt # [1] "2021-10-13 09:12:39 UTC" "2026-05-07 07:40:53 UTC" # [3] "2023-03-01 11:31:22 UTC" |
as.POSIXlt(my_dates) # Using as.POSIXlt # [1] "2021-10-13 09:12:39 UTC" "2026-05-07 07:40:53 UTC" # [3] "2023-03-01 11:31:22 UTC"
