time challenge

[nephish]

Hey there,
i am doing a plotting application.
i am using mxRelativeDateTimeDiff to get how much time is between
date x and date y

now what i need to do is divide that time by 20 to get 20 even time
slots
for plotting on a graph.

For example, if the difference between them is 20 hours, i need 20
plots, each an hour apart. if its 40 minutes, i need 20 plots that are
2 minutes apart.

what would be a way i could pull this off?

thanks

Sounds like homework related to another assignment discussed above.
Write your code, try to get it to work, and _then_ if you have
problems ask "smart questions" here about specific issues you have
with getting your code to work.

Same post body, except an extra blank line at the top of this one.

Please don't do that unless, after waiting a decent amount of time
with no response, you think the lack of response was due to the
bad wording of the title. Your first post got a response, the second
had a worse title ("time challenge").

Regards,
