Hello,
I've designed an algorithm / calculations around TDateTime's.
But I'm having some problems with the date Mathematics...
Scenario...
A Car is driving from Point A to Point C,
but stops along the way (Point B)
The amount of time in minutes to get from:
Point A to Point B = 9.69696969696969696969 Minutes
Point B to Point C = 10.3030303030303030301 Minutes
Total Time From Point A to Point C = 20 Minutes
If the Car starts driving from Point A @ 8:00 am, and it
takes 20 minutes to get to Point C (8:20 am) then...
What is the exact time at Point B?
What I do, that I thought worked... was
psuedo code:
PointBDateTime = IncMinute(StartingDateTime, 9)
double = 9.69696969696969 Minutes - 9 minutes =
.696969696969696969
// Change Decimal Portion to Seconds
.696969696969696969 * 60 = 41.8181818181818181 seconds
PointBDateTime = IncSeconds(PointBDateTime, 41)
// Change Decimal Portion to MilliSeconds
double = .81818181818181818 * 60 = 49.090909090909
PointBDateTime = IncMilliSeconds(PointBDateTime, 49)
Is this mucked up?
TIA,
Heinz
