Answer 1

the answer is yes, you can easilly achieve it with DateTime class in Dart. See: https://api.dart.dev/stable/2.8.3/dart-core/DateTime-class.html

Example

void main() {
  var moonLanding = DateTime(1969,07,20)
  var marsLanding = DateTime(2024,06,10);
  var diff = moonLanding.difference(marsLanding);

  print(diff.inDays.abs());
  print(diff.inMinutes.abs());
  print(diff.inHours.abs());
}

outputs: 20049 28870560 481176
