Template talk:Date from ordinal

Discussion
The template could be speeded up and/or shortened by using arithmetic and if-then constructs. I have something in mind like:

if x <= 31 return x if x <= 59 // 31 + 28 return x - 31 if x <= 90 // 31 + 28 + 31 return x - 59 // etc.

The numbers 31, 28, 31 etc. are the lengths of each month in non-leap years. --Uncle Ed 16:04, 21 April 2006 (UTC)


 * see Template talk:Date from ordinal/test where I think I've proven that this new method will work. --Uncle Ed 16:24, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
