date_time_ticks2.cpp

Shows how to use xtd::date_time class with ticks constructors.

    auto elapsed_span = time_span {elapsed_ticks};
 
    console::write_line("Elapsed from the beginning of the century to {:f}:", current_date);
    console::write_line("   {:N0} nanoseconds", elapsed_ticks * 100);
