I hope not.
I wrote a method jd_to_wday in date2.rb like this:
def jd_to_wday(jd) (jd + 1) % 7 end
It calculates the day of week of the given the Julian day number.
I used % and it must be modulo. So it works even if jd is -ve.
I can write it in Python too. Scheme and Common lisp have both. Why
should we choose one? I need modulo.
BTW, I wish divmod to behave like floor in Common Lisp or Python's.
And we may use floor, ceil and round in all numerical domain, I think.
(Integer#floor just returns self) Ruby has some restrictions in math,
I think. I don't need that.
