Normalize Method (TdPeriodDate)

A TdPeriodDate that contains a period that encompasses both periods of the left and right operands. The beginning bound is defined as the minimum of left and right beginning bounds, and the ending bound is defined as the maximum of the left and right ending bounds. The operands must either meet or overlap.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function Normalize( _
   ByVal left As TdPeriodDate, _
   ByVal right As TdPeriodDate _
) As TdPeriodDate

'Usage
 
Dim left As TdPeriodDate
Dim right As TdPeriodDate
Dim value As TdPeriodDate
 
value = TdPeriodDate.Normalize(left, right)

public static TdPeriodDate Normalize( 
   TdPeriodDate left,
   TdPeriodDate right
)

public:
static TdPeriodDate Normalize( 
   TdPeriodDate left,
   TdPeriodDate right
)

Parameters

left: The left TdPeriodDate operand.
right: The right TdPeriodDate operand.

Return Value

A TdPeriodDate is returned whose period includes both operands.

Remarks

A TdPeriodDate.Null is returned under the following scenarios:

The left and right operands do not overlap.
Either the left or right operand is null.

In the following examples the left and right operands are defined as (bL, eL) and (bR, eR), respectively.

Example	Comments

\|-------\|-------\|--------\| bR bL eR eL \|========================\|	Normalize = (bR, eL)

\|---------\|---------\| bL eL bR eR \|===================\|	Normalize = (bL, eR)
\|-------\|-----\|-------\| bL eL bR eR	Normalize = TdPeriodDate.Null The periods do not overlap.
