Syntax

Description

example

H = hours(X) returns an array of hours equivalent to the values in X.

  • If X is a numeric array, then H is a duration array in units of hours.

  • If X is a duration array, then H is a double array with each element equal to the number of hours in the corresponding element of X.

The hours function converts between duration and double values. To display a duration in units of hours, set its Format property to 'h'.
