From: Kaye Ng Date: 2010-10-16T17:11:11+09:00 Subject: Re: Is this an executable code? I think I get it now. I typed Time.local(2010,10,16,15,50,33) and IRB returned with values of year, month, day, hour, min, and sec in that order, with the values of the arguments passed to 'local'. But the code sample from the book I'm reading has the msec argument. Time.local(year, month, day, hour, min, sec, msec) I added another argument for the msec position but IRB returned with the same result as the previous, as if I didn't add the msec argument in there. Why is that? Sorry, beginner here and no background in programming whatsoever. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
