Re: odd or even day?

in reply to odd or even day?

Check your math. You can use paper and pencil to estimate the current day number according to your scheme, then print $var and see if it's in the right ballpark.

Update: quick sanity check: assume there are 365 days in each year. This is 2006, so there have been about 36 * 365 days:

36 * 365 ~ 10 * 36 * 36
         = 10 * 12 * 12 * 9
         ~ 14400

This was the reason why I'm using UNIX time to avoid issues such as this. I'm assuming that 'time' provides this, is that correct, I believe so	[reply]
