Abstract

   CSPICE_SPD returns the double precision value of the number
   of seconds in a standard calendar day: 86400.

I/O

   Given:

      None.

   the call:

      spd = cspice_spd(  )

   returns:

      spd      the number of seconds in a day: 86400.

               help, spd
                  DOUBLE = Scalar

Parameters

   None.

Examples

   Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
   platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
   and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Print the double precision value of the number of seconds in a
      standard calendar day.

      Example code begins here.


      PRO spd_ex1

         ;;
         ;; Output the number of seconds per day
         ;;
         print, FORMAT='("Seconds per day: ",F9.1)', cspice_spd()

      END


      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/IDL8.x/64-bit
      platform, the output was:


      Seconds per day:   86400.0
