Example

This example shows how minutes behaves with different inputs. It adds and subtracts hours from DateTime values. It also converts the decimal value 4.555 into the Period format (PT4M33.3S) and and the whole number 4 into the Period format (PT4M). Notice that minutes(-1) + minutes(2) returns the number of seconds.
