std::chrono::duration types introduced in C++11 helps making the unit of time duration explicit.

|
|

|
|

void blink_led(milliseconds time_to_blink) //good - the unit is explicit
|
|
|

The function can also be written in such a way that it will accept any time duration unit.

//assuming that millisecond is the smallest relevant unit
|
|
|
|

auto milliseconds_to_blink = duration_cast<milliseconds>(time_to_blink);
