Calculate time between two candles in ninjascript?

[cryfgg]

How do i check the time that have elapsed between two candles in Ninjascript?

In other words, i want to check how minutes have passed between the current Bar[0] and Bar[12]. Assuming current time is 1:00pm and Bar[12] closed at 12:40pm. The script will return 20mins.

double diff = (Time[0] - Time[12]).TotalMinutes;
or if you dont wanna fraction of minutes:
int diff = (int)(Time[0] - Time[12]).TotalMinutes;

Hello cryfgg,

Leeroy_Jenkins suggestion should work.

You can also use DateTime.Subtract(), which will return a timespan.
