Increasing by one until we >equal that point. Working out difference between two months separated by 400 >years will take quite a while. I agree this can be a problem, but I'm sure it can be done more efficiently. If there is a chance that this code gets accepted, I'll submit a new patch with a faster algorithm. >I could see this on a CalendarUtils, or DurationCalendarUtils, but I'm not >convinced of the need for it. I use it very frequently to determine the age (in years) of a person when only his/her birthdate is available (for adults: this is expressed in years, for young children this is expressed in months en for babies this is expressed in weeks). >the functionality >for Month/Year seems very open to user interpretation. >Exactly how many years are between 1st Sept 1980 and 1st Mar 1981? 1, 0.5 or 0? The javadoc should make sure there is only 1 way to interpret this functionality. Perhaps the suggested javadoc can be rewritten to avoid these questions. regards, Maarten -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
