[chuck-users] giving birth made easy (and head-hitting)

Dear list, It turns out that for a VM that has been running for a arbitrarily long time it's still easy to find the time of it's birth. considder the following; ================= time birth; now - (now /samp)::samp => time start; if (start == birth) <<<"Yay">>>; ============================= *hits head* So, it's possible after all to define objects of type time wthout using time after all; adding durations to a "fresh" time object will in fact do. Next up; a poor man's casting; ============================= //demo <<>>; <<>>; //the meat //time to duration and dur to time by Kassen. //considered trivial once I thought of it //no rights reserved fun time dtot (dur input) { //duration to time //probably leaks memory time garbage; input +=> garbage; return garbage; } fun dur ttod (time input) { //time to duration //here we go again with the strong typing return ( input/samp )::samp; } ==================================== *hits head again* Cheers, Kas.
