DATE$ function

[SMcNeill]

This is a simple case of division.  Why's it so hard to get the correct answer here?  Am I missing something?

Except for leap years I just know this is what I got from Wikipedia.

Erik.

So you know where that number came from -- it has nothing to do with whatever you were trying to accomplish and show with your example:

Code: (Select All)

Screen _NewImage(800, 600, 32)

Dim maxInt64 As _Integer64

maxInt64 = 9223372036854775807&&

Print maxInt64; " <== Max INT64"

Print Int(maxInt64 / (86400&& * 365.2425##)); " <== Max number of years." '60 seconds in 60 minutes in 24 hours in 365.2425 days

Print 292277024626 + 1970; " <== Unix time started in 1970, so add 1970"

Print 292277026596; " <== The time from Wiki."
