Subject: Re: Classic Traps -- I need your input!
Nope. That's just as bad.
Thanks Simon.
Although I do not know it is a 'trap', posting to the list right before bed
is a very bad idea. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I rethought the
formula and realized it was - as you said - just as bad as the misquoted one
from my first post. Then my mind started working through alternatives...
I came up with the one you posted, and a couple of alternatives. All three
of which were (quite unfortunately) thought through thoroughly - when I
should have been sleeping.
Here are the two others I thought of, and I am sure there are others:
Quarter = %div(Month : 3.01) + 1;
Quarter %dim(Month + 2 : 3);
No one ever wants to be wrong when speaking before your peers. I think
screwing up while talking about avoiding mistakes is rather classic.
