date and datetime class - Tadayoshi Funaba 1998-2011
‘date’ provides two classes Date and DateTime.
Some terms and definitions are based on ISO 8601 and JIS X 0301.
The calendar date is a particular day of a calendar year, identified by its ordinal number within a calendar month within that year.
In those classes, this is so-called “civil”.
The ordinal date is a particular day of a calendar year identified by its ordinal number within the year.
In those classes, this is so-called “ordinal”.
The week date is a date identified by calendar week and day numbers.
The calendar week is a seven day period within a calendar year, starting on a Monday and identified by its ordinal number within the year; the first calendar week of the year is the one that includes the first Thursday of that year. In the Gregorian calendar, this is equivalent to the week which includes January 4.
In those classes, this so-called “commercial”.
The Julian day number is in elapsed days since noon (Greenwich mean time) on January 1, 4713 BCE (in the Julian calendar).
In this document, the astronomical Julian day number is same as the original Julian day number. And the chronological Julian day number is a variation of the Julian day number. Its days begin at midnight on local time.
In this document, when the term “Julian day number” simply appears, it just refers to “chronological Julian day number”, not the original.
In those classes, those are so-called “ajd” and “jd”.
The modified Julian day number is in elapsed days since midnight (Coordinated universal time) on November 17, 1858 CE (in the Gregorian calendar).
In this document, the astronomical modified Julian day number is same as the original modified Julian day number. And the chronological modified Julian day number is a variation of the modified Julian day number. Its days begin at midnight on local time.
In this document, when the term “modified Julian day number” simply appears, it just refers to “chronological modified Julian day number”, not the original.
In those classes, this is so-called “mjd”.
A subclass of Object includes Comparable module, easily handles date.
Date object is created with ::new, ::jd, ::ordinal, ::commercial, ::parse, ::strptime, ::today, Time#to_date or etc.
require 'date' Date.new(2001,2,3) #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...> Date.jd(2451944) #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...> Date.ordinal(2001,34) #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...> Date.commercial(2001,5,6) #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...> Date.parse('2001-02-03') #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...> Date.strptime('03-02-2001', '%d-%m-%Y') #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...> Time.new(2001,2,3).to_date #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
All date objects are immutable; hence cannot modify themselves.
The concept of this date object can be represented as a tuple of the day count, the offset and the day of calendar reform.
The day count denotes the absolute position of a temporal dimension. The offset is relative adjustment, which determines decoded local time with the day count. The day of calendar reform denotes the start day of the new style. The old style of the West is the Julian calendar which was adopted by Caersar. The new style is the Gregorian calendar, which is the current civil calendar of many countries.
The day count is virtually the astronomical Julian day number. The offset in this class is usually zero, and cannot be specified directly.
An optional argument the day of calendar reform (start) as a Julian day number, which should be 2298874 to 2426355 or -/+oo. The default value is Date::ITALY (2299161=1582-10-15). See also sample/cal.rb.
$ ruby sample/cal.rb -c it 10 1582 October 1582 S M Tu W Th F S 1 2 3 4 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 $ ruby sample/cal.rb -c gb 9 1752 September 1752 S M Tu W Th F S 1 2 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
Date object has various methods. See each reference.
d = Date.parse('3rd Feb 2001') #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...> d.year #=> 2001 d.mon #=> 2 d.mday #=> 3 d.wday #=> 6 d += 1 #=> #<Date: 2001-02-04 ...> d.strftime('%a %d %b %Y') #=> "Sun 04 Feb 2001"
A subclass of Date easily handles date, hour, minute, second and offset.
DateTime does not consider any leapseconds, does not track any summer time rules.
DateTime object is created with DateTime.new, DateTime.jd, DateTime.ordinal, DateTime.commercial, DateTime.parse, DateTime.strptime, DateTime.now, Time#to_datetime or etc.
require 'date' DateTime.new(2001,2,3,4,5,6) #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+00:00 ...>
The last element of day, hour, minute or senond can be fractional number. The fractional number’s precision is assumed at most nanosecond.
DateTime.new(2001,2,3.5) #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T12:00:00+00:00 ...>
An optional argument the offset indicates the difference between the local time and UTC. For example, Rational(3,24) represents ahead of 3 hours of UTC, Rational(-5,24) represents behind of 5 hours of UTC. The offset should be -1 to +1, and its precision is assumed at most second. The default value is zero (equals to UTC).
DateTime.new(2001,2,3,4,5,6,Rational(3,24)) #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T03:04:05+03:00 ...>
also accepts string form.
DateTime.new(2001,2,3,4,5,6,'+03:00') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T03:04:05+03:00 ...>
An optional argument the day of calendar reform (start) denotes a Julian day number, which should be 2298874 to 2426355 or -/+oo. The default value is Date::ITALY (2299161=1582-10-15).
DateTime object has various methods. See each reference.
d = DateTime.parse('3rd Feb 2001 04:05:06+03:30') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+03:30 ...> d.hour #=> 4 d.min #=> 5 d.sec #=> 6 d.offset #=> (7/48) d.zone #=> "+03:30" d += Rational('1.5') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-04%16:05:06+03:30 ...> d = d.new_offset('+09:00') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-04%21:35:06+09:00 ...> d.strftime('%I:%M:%S %p') #=> "09:35:06 PM" d > DateTime.new(1999) #=> true

The month and the day of month should be a negative or a positive number (as a relative month/day from the end of year/month when negative). They should not be zero.
The last argument should be a Julian day number which denotes the day of calendar reform. Date::ITALY (2299161=1582-10-15), Date::ENGLAND (2361222=1752-09-14), Date::GREGORIAN (the proleptic Gregorian calendar) and Date::JULIAN (the proleptic Julian calendar) can be specified as a day of calendar reform.

Formats date according to the directives in the given format string. The directives begins with a percent (%) character. Any text not listed as a directive will be passed through to the output string. The directive consists of a percent (%) character, zero or more flags, optional minimum field width, optional modifier and a conversion specifier as follows. %<flags><width><modifier><conversion> Flags: - don't pad a numerical output. _ use spaces for padding. 0 use zeros for padding. ^ upcase the result string. # change case. : use colons for %z. The minimum field width specifies the minimum width. The modifier is "E" and "O". They are ignored. Format directives: Date (Year, Month, Day): %Y - Year with century (can be negative, 4 digits at least) -0001, 0000, 1995, 2009, 14292, etc. %C - year / 100 (round down. 20 in 2009) %y - year % 100 (00..99) %m - Month of the year, zero-padded (01..12) %_m blank-padded ( 1..12) %-m no-padded (1..12) %B - The full month name (``January'') %^B uppercased (``JANUARY'') %b - The abbreviated month name (``Jan'') %^b uppercased (``JAN'') %h - Equivalent to %b %d - Day of the month, zero-padded (01..31) %-d no-padded (1..31) %e - Day of the month, blank-padded ( 1..31) %j - Day of the year (001..366) Time (Hour, Minute, Second, Subsecond): %H - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock, zero-padded (00..23) %k - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock, blank-padded ( 0..23) %I - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock, zero-padded (01..12) %l - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock, blank-padded ( 1..12) %P - Meridian indicator, lowercase (``am'' or ``pm'') %p - Meridian indicator, uppercase (``AM'' or ``PM'') %M - Minute of the hour (00..59) %S - Second of the minute (00..59) %L - Millisecond of the second (000..999) %N - Fractional seconds digits, default is 9 digits (nanosecond) %3N millisecond (3 digits) %6N microsecond (6 digits) %9N nanosecond (9 digits) %12N picosecond (12 digits) Time zone: %z - Time zone as hour and minute offset from UTC (e.g. +0900) %:z - hour and minute offset from UTC with a colon (e.g. +09:00) %::z - hour, minute and second offset from UTC (e.g. +09:00:00) %:::z - hour, minute and second offset from UTC (e.g. +09, +09:30, +09:30:30) %Z - Time zone abbreviation name Weekday: %A - The full weekday name (``Sunday'') %^A uppercased (``SUNDAY'') %a - The abbreviated name (``Sun'') %^a uppercased (``SUN'') %u - Day of the week (Monday is 1, 1..7) %w - Day of the week (Sunday is 0, 0..6) ISO 8601 week-based year and week number: The week 1 of YYYY starts with a Monday and includes YYYY-01-04. The days in the year before the first week are in the last week of the previous year. %G - The week-based year %g - The last 2 digits of the week-based year (00..99) %V - Week number of the week-based year (01..53) Week number: The week 1 of YYYY starts with a Sunday or Monday (according to %U or %W). The days in the year before the first week are in week 0. %U - Week number of the year. The week starts with Sunday. (00..53) %W - Week number of the year. The week starts with Monday. (00..53) Seconds since the Unix Epoch: %s - Number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. %Q - Number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. Literal string: %n - Newline character (\n) %t - Tab character (\t) %% - Literal ``%'' character Combination: %c - date and time (%a %b %e %T %Y) %D - Date (%m/%d/%y) %F - The ISO 8601 date format (%Y-%m-%d) %v - VMS date (%e-%b-%Y) %x - Same as %D %X - Same as %T %r - 12-hour time (%I:%M:%S %p) %R - 24-hour time (%H:%M) %T - 24-hour time (%H:%M:%S) %+ - date(1) (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y) This method is similar to strftime() function defined in ISO C and POSIX. Several directives (%a, %A, %b, %B, %c, %p, %r, %x, %X, %E*, %O* and %Z) are locale dependent in the function. However this method is locale independent. So, the result may differ even if a same format string is used in other systems such as C. It is good practice to avoid %x and %X because there are corresponding locale independent representations, %D and %T. Examples: d = DateTime.new(2007,11,19,8,37,48,"-06:00") #=> #<DateTime: 2007-11-19T08:37:48-0600 ...> d.strftime("Printed on %m/%d/%Y") #=> "Printed on 11/19/2007" d.strftime("at %I:%M%p") #=> "at 08:37AM" Various ISO 8601 formats: %Y%m%d => 20071119 Calendar date (basic) %F => 2007-11-19 Calendar date (extended) %Y-%m => 2007-11 Calendar date, reduced accuracy, specific month %Y => 2007 Calendar date, reduced accuracy, specific year %C => 20 Calendar date, reduced accuracy, specific century %Y%j => 2007323 Ordinal date (basic) %Y-%j => 2007-323 Ordinal date (extended) %GW%V%u => 2007W471 Week date (basic) %G-W%V-%u => 2007-W47-1 Week date (extended) %GW%V => 2007W47 Week date, reduced accuracy, specific week (basic) %G-W%V => 2007-W47 Week date, reduced accuracy, specific week (extended) %H%M%S => 083748 Local time (basic) %T => 08:37:48 Local time (extended) %H%M => 0837 Local time, reduced accuracy, specific minute (basic) %H:%M => 08:37 Local time, reduced accuracy, specific minute (extended) %H => 08 Local time, reduced accuracy, specific hour %H%M%S,%L => 083748,000 Local time with decimal fraction, comma as decimal sign (basic) %T,%L => 08:37:48,000 Local time with decimal fraction, comma as decimal sign (extended) %H%M%S.%L => 083748.000 Local time with decimal fraction, full stop as decimal sign (basic) %T.%L => 08:37:48.000 Local time with decimal fraction, full stop as decimal sign (extended) %H%M%S%z => 083748-0600 Local time and the difference from UTC (basic) %T%:z => 08:37:48-06:00 Local time and the difference from UTC (extended) %Y%m%dT%H%M%S%z => 20071119T083748-0600 Date and time of day for calendar date (basic) %FT%T%:z => 2007-11-19T08:37:48-06:00 Date and time of day for calendar date (extended) %Y%jT%H%M%S%z => 2007323T083748-0600 Date and time of day for ordinal date (basic) %Y-%jT%T%:z => 2007-323T08:37:48-06:00 Date and time of day for ordinal date (extended) %GW%V%uT%H%M%S%z => 2007W471T083748-0600 Date and time of day for week date (basic) %G-W%V-%uT%T%:z => 2007-W47-1T08:37:48-06:00 Date and time of day for week date (extended) %Y%m%dT%H%M => 20071119T0837 Calendar date and local time (basic) %FT%R => 2007-11-19T08:37 Calendar date and local time (extended) %Y%jT%H%MZ => 2007323T0837Z Ordinal date and UTC of day (basic) %Y-%jT%RZ => 2007-323T08:37Z Ordinal date and UTC of day (extended) %GW%V%uT%H%M%z => 2007W471T0837-0600 Week date and local time and difference from UTC (basic) %G-W%V-%uT%R%:z => 2007-W47-1T08:37-06:00 Week date and local time and difference from UTC (extended)
