Examples

# Create a dtm_level object with level "D" (day)
level_day <- admiral:::dtm_level("D")
print(level_day)
#> [1] D
#> Levels: n < s < m < h < D < M < Y

# Create a dtm_level object with level "h" (hour)
level_hour <- admiral:::dtm_level("h")
print(level_hour)
#> [1] h
#> Levels: n < s < m < h < D < M < Y

# Compare two dtm_level objects
level_day > level_hour # TRUE, because "D" is larger than "h".
#> [1] TRUE
