Hello

How can I convert from DateTIme to Time?

require "date"

class DateTime
def to_time
Time.mktime(year, month, day, hour, min, sec)
end
end


date = DateTime.now
time = date.to_time
time.class => Time

require "date"

class DateTime
def to_time
Time.mktime(year, month, day, hour, min, sec)
end
end


date = DateTime.now
time = date.to_time
time.class => Time

One little glitch. Time can only represent values through January 1, 2038,
DateTime has a longer range.

Pretty sure it's a 32 vs. 64 bit thing.
