Description
Require nonnegative integer startMinute and endMinute no earlier than start, then return their difference.
Source-scoped cultural and historical records preserve an edition, naming convention, or local identifier. Literal agreement is useful bookkeeping but does not establish interpretation, authenticity, or authority.
Require nonnegative integer startMinute and endMinute no earlier than start, then return their difference.
When to use this tool
Use Festival Program Slot Duration when you need a precise source-token or range consistency check.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter startMinute, endMinute. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read durationMinutes. Use the output convention below.

}Limitations and assumptions
- This is one supplied program-slot duration without local-time conversion, scheduling conflicts, setup allowances, or event verification.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
