Time span literal

No, unless a "\" is used at the end of the line to connect it to the next
line.

Hi Jesse,

 

The reason it's setup that way is that xx:xx is extremely ambiguous.  It
could be minutes and seconds, hours and minutes, a time, etc.  When prefixed
with a date, its clear that you are dealing with hours and minutes rather
than minutes and seconds.  One of SDL's design goals is that the literals be
clear and unambiguous, even if you don't know the language spec.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for your quick reply. One other thing, though; are
date/time literals allowed to be broken up between lines?
