Method for returning a random date between two dates
Hi,
I''m trying to create a method to return a random date within a range.
So far, I''ve come up with this...
require ''parsedate''
def random_date (a, b)
adate = ParseDate.parsedate(a)
bdate = ParseDate.parsedate(b)
atime = Time.local(*adate)
btime = Time.local(*bdate)
atime + (rand * (atime - btime) )
end
...and it doesn''t seem to work--the dates returned aren''t within the
given range.
Can anyone spot wha...
