Well, it is the 256th day as non-programers see it, but if we were to select that day from the zero indexed array of days, which we call year, it would of be referenced as
this.Year[255]:)If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it. Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850) [My Articles] [My Website]

I think we are safe to abstract the implementation of 'this.year' because the value held at this.year[255] (zero based) remains the same as this.year[256] (one based) and the 256th row if we do a COBOL style start (on 1 Jan) and then a sequential read until 256 days have been read. The 256th day of the year will always be the same. Except on leap years.

Have you done paternity tests?

:laugh: I haven't. But I do have some doubts: He arrived one day early, which would be the first project I've every delivered that close to a scheduled release date. He's currently back in hospital having had some tummy surgery. I definitely would have caught that flaw in System Test prior to release. All that said, when they told me that they would be shutting down the intestines and restarting them I knew he was the offspring of programmers. -Rd

It's Programmer Day[^] today. Developers and Software Engineers need not apply
And who is the programmer the day's for, anyway?
Yes, today I will program my VCR for the next 12 months. And buy some more tape. :)
