Line 19: : I've had the same problem. getShortMonths() returns 13 elements. I assume this is a bug in certain Java versions. [[User:Fwend\|Fwend]] 12:30, 31 December 2012 (UTC) ::Yeah it's happening for me now too (on the Windows and Linux implementations). It must have been changed in a recent update. I hope I would have noticed that when I wrote the example. Do you think we need to fix the example around that? --[[User:Mwn3d\|Mwn3d]] 14:11, 31 December 2012 (UTC) ::: When I posted the code, I thought it was a bug in the Java implementation, but according to the documentation it isn't: ''Short month strings. For example: "Jan", "Feb", etc. An array of 13 strings (some calendars have 13 months)...''. [http://www.docjar.com/docs/api/java/text/DateFormatSymbols.html]. I'll fix the example. [[User:Fwend\|Fwend]] 14:26, 31 December 2012 (UTC) == command line == Why does the task specify that the year is supplied from the command line? This seems to conflate two totally separate language capabilities--date arithmetic and command line handling. For the PHP example, I'm just ignoring the command line requirement. --[[User:Showell\|Showell]] 17:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC) : Specifying the year on the command-line makes it easy to check any specified year (or multiple years) without having to change a hard-coded year inside the computer program.   This should be a trivial requirement for most languages.   It also makes it easier to compare how a particular language handles command-line arguments.   -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger\|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger\|talk]]) 17:28, 15 July 2016 (UTC) == task name == Line 282 ⟶ 286: --[[User:Walterpachl\|Walterpachl]] 11:49, 29 August 2012 (UTC) == Proposed amendment & rename: [[Find a first or last day of week in a month]] == Wots say we rename [[Last Friday of each month]] to [[Find a first or last day of week in a month]](?)... Then use Tuesday and Thursday January 2038 (Vis-à-vis [wp:Year 2038 problem]) as test cases... e.g. <lang algol68>PROC find day of week in month year = (INT wday, month, year)INT: ( ¢ Where wday=1,2,3,4... is first Mon,Tue,Wed... ¢ ¢ Where wday=-1,-2,-3,... is last Mon,Tue,Wed... ¢ code... ¢ found ¢ day of month EXIT );</lang> Actually: I'm curious... is this first/last day of week issue specifically addressed in any library, or "[[wp:ICalendar#Events_.28VEVENT.29\|icalendar]]" standard? On another topic: We have "Last Friday" snacks every month, and need to order the food 2 days before. AFAIK no calendar program out there automatically caters for a recurrent order like this. (I've failed in google calendar and cron) Any hints. [[User:NevilleDNZ\|NevilleDNZ]] ([[User talk:NevilleDNZ\|talk]]) 05:53, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
