Re: A date calculation

1123200 = 13 * 24 * 60 * 60, ie 13 days from now, 31st December 2007. You use strftime to print the year and month: 0712 and tag an 01 on the end: 071201.

It looks like your proglet is doing what you're telling it to do. Or, am I missing something?

Hello, Thanks for the response. I have a question, how do we get 13 * 24 * 60 * 60 from 1123200. I was not sure how that was done. Thanks.	[reply]

13246060 is (days hours/day * minutes/hour * seconds/min). So your script is taking the current date/time, adding 13 days to it, and then printing the two digit month and year of that date/time. Since 13 days from now is still December 2007, you're getting 0712 (instead of the 0801 you evidently expected).	[reply]

time is in seconds, so he is just converting 1123200 seconds into days 11123200 / 60 sec / 60 min / 24 hours = 13 days. Or 13 days * 24 hours * 60 min * 60 sec = 1123200 seconds.	[reply]

13 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 1123200 seconds Now I know I'm missing something:(	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No. One takes 13 days and multiplies it by unity three times, leaving it unchanged. Here is how it goes: `(13 d) (24 h/d) (60 m/h) (60 s/m) = 1123200 s` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
