Dear All,

I am studying Quantconnect shared code in Github, and I am stuck in this line.

I searched google and every document of Quantconnect, I could not find any explanation for what this function means.

my question is,

1) What is the output of "Time"

2) Would you please breakdown" Time.Multiply(Extensions.ToTimeSpan(Resolution.Daily), 0.25)" ??

It is so hard to guess for me since Research Jupyter notebook also does not spit any number.

It would be appreciated if someone breakdown this code for me.

Regards,

Juhwan

Hi Juhwan,

(1) `Time` returns an instance of the Time class. Checkout our documentation for more information about it.

(2) This statement returns a timedelta object spanning 1/4 of a day, or 6 hours.

If the research environment is not producing any output when executing these lines in a cell, use `print()`.

Derek Melchin,

Thanks for the answer. Also, the community helped me to understand what it means.

"print" does not work. it only shows what kind of object it is. But, "Str" works.

Hi Juhwan,

I'm glad the community was able to assist with this issue. The `print` function should work in the research environment to display the timedelta duration. See the attached research notebook for a working solution.
