DateTime Objects and Formats

Details on DateTime Behaviors

Day Format Comparisons

• The day format (MM/dd) is based on the year 2000, which includes a leap day.
• With the is-between primitive, there are three cases for determining if a LogoTime object is between two "Day" (MM/dd) dates.
  • is-between takes 3 arguments is-between (day-to-check) (start-day) (end-day)
  • if the start-day is before the end-day, then the comparison acts as such, start-day < start-day < end-day
  • if the start-day is after the end-time, then the comparison acts as such, end-day 2000 < start-day < start-day 2001
    • this behavior above is helpful with overlapping years
  • if the start-day is equal to the end-time, then the day-to-check needs to be equal to be true or else it will be false

Day of the Weeks

The days of the week are numbered from 1 to 7 (Monday to Sunday) starting off on Monday. This has slightly changed since the use of the Java 8 time library. Date and DateTime objects can determine the day of the week since enough information is provided. The Day LogoTime does support this feature, but will be based on the Year 2000,since the year cannot be specified.
