to_i() public

Returns the number of seconds that this Duration represents.

1.minute.to_i # => 60 1.hour.to_i # => 3600 1.day.to_i # => 86400 

Note that this conversion makes some assumptions about the duration of some periods, e.g. months are always 1/12 of year and years are 365.2425 days:

# equivalent to (1.year / 12).to_i 1.month.to_i # => 2629746 # equivalent to 365.2425.days.to_i 1.year.to_i # => 31556952 

In such cases, Ruby’s core Date and Time should be used for precision date and time arithmetic.
