Re: Holiday Calculations?

I couldn't resist, so I went ahead and did all of them. I might be using
these in a future app anyways. Again these are Tcl procs, but you may be
able to transfer the logical to another language, if you want.



proc getTG {year} {   set di \[clock format [clock scan $year-11-30] -format "%w"]   return [expr {30 -
((($di+1)%7)+2)}]
}
proc getMem {year} {   set di \[clock format [clock scan $year-05-31] -format "%w"]   return [expr {31 -
((($di+6)%7))}]
}
proc getLabor {year} {   set di \[clock format [clock scan $year-09-01] -format "%w"]   return [expr {(((8-$di)%7) +
1)}]
}
