    How do I calc a countdown to the date of an event?

    Thanks, but I didn't really need all that. Too confusing lol. But I figured it out myself anyway. The code is quite simple but figuring out what to do wasn't. Here's what I came up with and it seems to work (Hoping I didn't miss anything)...

    How do I calc a countdown to the date of an event?

    Well I can't just divide the number of days remaining by 365.2422 (I've tried this way) to get the years because then you'd have to know how many days are in each month left to calc the number of months, and then the remaining days... and I'd have to check if a year is a leap year (which is no...

    How do I calc a countdown to the date of an event?

    huh... well I wanted to see how the calc is done. So I can understand it. I'm actually surprised no one here knows how to do it either. No wonder I'm having a hard time figuring it out! I thought it would be a piece of cake for most of the people here. :( I don't want a function that does it...

    How do I calc a countdown to the date of an event?

    I'm using C++ builder. I am using the date packages that come with it. But there is no such function that can give you the number of years, months, days to a specific date. I looked all day. It's not for school - I got the idea from school when we had to calc the number of days to a given...

    How do I calc a countdown to the date of an event?

    This is for writing a program btw. The dates in the program are represented by the number of days passed since 12/30/1899. Ok, let's say today is 02-Feb-2005 and there is an event that occurs on 01-May-2008. Now by subtracting the day of the event from today's date, I know the number of days...

    Calculating Average Speed in a Two-Mile Trip

    :bugeye: I thought the answer was 90mph, but my friend says it's wrong. I just can't figure out any other answer. :cry: could someone please help me? :shy: ---- You drive to the store which is a 2 mile trip. In the first mile you average 30 mph, how fast must you drive the second mile...

    A horse has infinite number of legs? huh? help

    That's what I said! I guess the point is to disprove the Theorem... but how?

    A horse has infinite number of legs? huh? help

    I don't get this at all :confused: If you were going to respond to this, what would be a logical answer? I don't even know what the question is asking me to do! Thanks, Jennifer :blushing: ---------------------------------------------- In this paper we develop machinery sufficient to...

    oh ok! Thank you :smile: Man I wish they could teach this good at school! You guys rock! :biggrin: I just hope I'm not being a pest with these silly questions. :shy: -jen

    Is Motion an Illusion? The Paradox of Infinite Divisibility in Space

    I sort of understand what you're getting at... :shy: Let me see if I got this right... what you're saying is that 100 meters is a 100 meters no matter how infinitely you divide it. And no matter how much you divide the time line (the time it takes to move across that distance), it doesn't...

    Is Motion an Illusion? The Paradox of Infinite Divisibility in Space

    I saw this posted on a forum. I've been racking my brain trying to prove this wrong but can't. Is space really infinitely divisible? Is there any smart answer to this one to prove it wong? A runner wants to run a 100 meters - in a finite time. But to reach the 100-meter mark, the runner...

    Can 2+2 Ever Equal 5?

    hehe... good thing Muzza didn't mind it at 5am! :biggrin: I don't usually get up that early but I was at my aunts birthday party Sunday evening and never got my homework done so I got up early to do it. :zzz: This wasn't part of our homework. Someone brought it to class and the teacher...
