NSDateIntervalMBS.compare(DateInterval as NSDateIntervalMBS) as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	20.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Compares the receiver with the specified date interval.

dateInterval: The date interval with which to compare the receiver.

Returns an NSComparisonResult value that indicates the temporal ordering of the receiver and a given date interval:
NSOrderedAscending (-1) if the receiver’s startDate occurs earlier than that of dateInterval, or both startDate values are equal and the duration of the receiver is less than that of dateInterval.
NSOrderedDescending (1) if the receiver’s startDate occurs later than that of dateInterval, or both startDate values are equal and the duration of the receiver is greater than that of dateInterval.
NSOrderedSame (0) if the receiver’s startDate and duration values are equal to those of dateInterval.

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	20.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop, Console & Web

Initializes a date interval with a given start date and duration.

startDate: The start date of the date interval.
duration: The duration from the start date for the date interval.

This method raises an NSExceptionMBS if duration is less than 0.

NSDateIntervalMBS.containsDate(date as date) as Boolean

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	20.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop, Console & Web

Indicates whether the receiver contains the specified date.

date: The date for which to test membership of the date interval.

Returns true if the receiver contains date. Otherwise, false.

NSDateIntervalMBS.containsDateTime(date as dateTime) as Boolean

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	20.5	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Indicates whether the receiver contains the specified date.

date: The date for which to test membership of the date interval.

Returns true if the receiver contains date. Otherwise, false.

NSDateIntervalMBS.copy as NSDateIntervalMBS

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	20.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Creates a copy of the object.

NSDateIntervalMBS.intersectionWithDateInterval(DateInterval as NSDateIntervalMBS) as NSDateIntervalMBS

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	20.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Returns the intersection between the receiver and the specified date interval.

dateInterval: The date interval with which to calculate the intersection of the receiver.

Returns a date interval for the intersection of the receiver and dateInterval, or nil if no intersection occurs.

Calculating the intersection of date intervals is a commutative and associative operation. The intersection of a date interval with itself is equal to itself.

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	20.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Indicates whether the receiver intersects with the specified date interval.

dateInterval: The date interval with which to check the receiver for intersection.

See intersectionWithDateInterval for more information about determining whether two date intervals intersect.

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	20.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Indicates whether the receiver is equal to the specified date interval.

dateInterval: The date interval with which to check the receiver for equality.

Returns true if the startDate and duration of dateInterval and the receiver are equal. Otherwise, false.
