Increments or decrements the number of ticks for this duration.

If rep_ is a member variable holding the number of ticks in a duration object,

1) Equivalent to ++ rep_ ; return * this ; .
2) Equivalent to return duration ( rep_ ++ ) .
3) Equivalent to -- rep_ ; return * this ; .
4) Equivalent to return duration ( rep_ -- ) ; .

Parameters

(none)

Return value

1,3) A reference to this duration after modification.
2,4) A copy of the duration made before modification.

Example

Run this code 
#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::chrono::hours h(1);
    std::chrono::minutes m = ++h;
    m--;
    std::cout << m.count() << " minutes\n";
}

Output: 

119 minutes
