Calculate time difference and return a number

time_delta(t1, t2, units = "secs")

`t1`	time start
`t2`	time end
`units`	character, choices are `'secs'`, `'mins'`, `'hours'`, and `'days'`

numeric difference of time in units specified

a = Sys.time()
Sys.sleep(0.3)
b = Sys.time()

time_delta(a, b) # In seconds, around 0.3
time_delta(a, b, 'mins') # in minutes, around 0.005
