Hi Brent, I think not everyone here knows the exact content from Smalltalk ANSI. When someone questions an implementation it is probably a good idea to first cross-reference the ANSI standard, so I have added a link to the http://webstore.ansi.org/RecordDetail.aspx?sku=ANSI+INCITS+319-1998+(R2007) ANSI INCITS 319-1998 (R2007) on http://www.world.st/about world.st/about and also made the draft PDF available. I noticed you mentioned someone insulted you? I probably missed that bit and I think everyone here agrees that there is no need to insult anyone, we are all adults here ... well at least I think so :) ANSI 5.8.2.11 Draft wrote: > > 5.8.2.11 Message: hours > Synopsis > Answer the number of complete hours in the receiver. > Definition: > Answer an between -23 and 23 inclusive that represents the number of > complete hours > in the receiver, after the number of complete days has been removed. > If the receiver is less than > #zero then the result will be less than or equal to 0. > Return Values > unspecified > Errors > None > ps. I am not sure what the "(R2007)" means since the draft PDF looks like it is still from 1997. Does anyone know if there is a way to make this information available for free rather than 30 USD from the ansi.org website? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Issue-3806-in-pharo-Duration-hours-is-broken-tp3348315p3353750.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
