minute — Extract minute numbers from datetime values.
minute extracts the minute component from a datetime scalar or array and returns the result as doubles with the same shape as the input.
How minute works
minute(t)accepts datetime scalars and datetime arrays.- The output shape matches the input shape.
- Minute values follow the clock minute stored in the datetime.
- Passing a non-datetime value raises a datetime-specific error.
How RunMat runs minute on the GPU
minute does not dispatch GPU kernels; it extracts the minute component from CPU-side datetime objects.
GPU memory and residency
No. minute reads datetime objects on the CPU and returns ordinary host-side numeric arrays.
Examples
Extract the minute from a scalar datetime
t = datetime(2024, 4, 9, 13, 30, 5);
mn = minute(t)Expected output:
mn = 30Extract minutes from a datetime array
t = datetime([2024 2024], [4 4], [9 9], [8 17], [15 45], [0 0]);
mn = minute(t)Expected output:
mn =
15 45FAQ
What range does minute return?⌄
It returns the minute component in the usual 0 through 59 range.
Does minute preserve the input shape?⌄
Yes. The numeric output has the same size as the input datetime array.
Does minute run on the GPU?⌄
No. datetime values are host-side objects, so minute executes on the CPU.
