Extended Date [Windows, Linux, MacOS]

[Lord]

There are a few other projects that I want to finish first. Before I can deal with this issue again.
But I think now and then about how best to handle the time calculations.

It is very complex

Ten years ago, I remembered a subject of a monthly book named "Sciences & Vie" (published near 1995).

The null point was Monday, January the 1st 1901.
And all consisted in adding and calculate the modulo 7. Dobro (renamed Zorro) told us the problem of a different february every 400 years, what it allowed me to make this :

Code: Select all

Global Dim Jour.S(6)
Jour(0) = "Lundi"
Jour(1) = "Mardi"
Jour(2) = "Mercredi"
Jour(3) = "Jeudi"
Jour(4) = "Vendredi"
Jour(5) = "Samedi"
Jour(6) = "Dimanche"

Procedure Equ(a, b)
 Protected s.L
 s = 0: If a = b: s = 1: EndIf
 ProcedureReturn s
EndProcedure

; Merci Dobro pour cet algo!
Procedure.L Bissex(x.L)
 Protected Result.L
 Result = (1 - Equ((x % 100), 0) )
 Result | Equ(((x >> 2) % 100), 0)
 Result & Equ((x % 4), 0)
 ProcedureReturn Result
EndProcedure

Procedure JoursDansUnMois(x.L, y.L)
 Protected Result.L
 Result = (30 + ((x & 1) ! (x / 8) ) )
 Result - (Equ(x, 2) * (2 - y) )
 ProcedureReturn Result
EndProcedure

Procedure.L JourJ(JJ.L, MM.L, AA.L)
 Protected JPM.L
 Protected J.L
 J = 0
 JPM = 0
 For i = 1900 To AA - 1: J + (365 + Bissex(i) ): Next
 For i = 1 To MM - 1: J + JoursDansUnMois(i, Bissex(AA) ):
Next
 J = ((J + JJ) - 1) % 7
 ProcedureReturn J
EndProcedure
Date$ = InputRequester("Saisie d'une date", "JJ/MM/AAAA",
"01/01/ 1900")
Debug Jour(JourJ(Val(StringField(Date$, 1, "/") ), Val
(StringField(Date$, 2, "/") ), Val(StringField(Date$, 3,
"/") ) ) ) + " " + Date$

(source)And Fred created BOOL() function which can replace Equ() procedure and simplify this also.
