Epoch

The problem to be solved in this challenge is to write a Golang program that can calculate the number of seconds, milliseconds, or nanoseconds since the Unix epoch.

Requirements

To complete this challenge, you need to have a basic understanding of Golang and the following requirements:

• Familiarity with the time package in Golang.
• Knowledge of how to use the Unix, UnixMilli, and UnixNano functions in the time package.

Example

$ go run epoch.go
2012-10-31 16:13:58.292387 +0000 UTC
1351700038
1351700038292
1351700038292387000
2012-10-31 16:13:58 +0000 UTC
2012-10-31 16:13:58.292387 +0000 UTC

## Next we'll look at another time-related task: time
## parsing and formatting.

Summary

The Epoch challenge is a Golang challenge that tests your ability to get the number of seconds, milliseconds, or nanoseconds since the Unix epoch. By completing this challenge, you will gain a better understanding of the time package in Golang and how to use the Unix, UnixMilli, and UnixNano functions.
