Contributor: MARIUS ELLEN (* Public domain Author: Marius Ellen, Winsum, Groningen, The Netherlands Fido 2:282/607.2 After studying several DayOfWeeks i got sick. None of them worked really correctly and most had over 15 DIV'/MOD's or * in it. The Zeller's congruence was the best but the routine also contains some range errors. Years are only valid from 1..6300 and its really slow, so i wrote my own.. About the routines.. routine results valid if year in 0..65536 month in 1..12, and day in 1..28/29/30/31 there is absolute no range checking.. *) function DayOfWeek(year,month,day:word):word; {Returns the day of week, 0=Sun..6=Sat} assembler; {See 1995} const mtable:array[0..11] of byte= (0,3, 3,6, 1,4, 6,2, 5,0, 3,5); asm {(Y+(Y div 4)-(Y div 100)+(Y div 400)-Adjust)mod 7} mov ax,year mov di,ax xor bx,bx xor cx,cx mov si,day dec si shr ax,1; adc cl,0 {si+=year div 4} shr ax,1; adc cl,0 add si,ax mov bx,25 {si+=year div 100} xor dx,dx div bx sub si,ax shr ax,1; adc ch,0 {si+=year div 400} shr ax,1; adc ch,0 add si,ax add si,di {if leap-year then decrease days} mov bx,month cmp bx,2; ja @Noleap {do not adjust} and cl,cl; jne @NoLeap {year mod 4=0?} and dx,dx; jne @IsLeap {year mod 100=0?} and di,di; je @NoLeap {year=0?} and ch,ch; jne @Noleap {year mod 400=0?} @IsLeap:dec si @Noleap:xor ah,ah mov al,byte ptr mTable[bx-1] add ax,si mov bx,7 xor dx,dx div bx xchg ax,dx end; function GetDaysInMonth(Month:Byte;Year:Word):Word; {Returns the total number of days in a month} assembler; asm mov bl,Month {What about februari?} cmp bl,2; jne @N mov ax,Year shr ax,1; jc @S shr ax,1; jc @S {it's a leap-year} mov cx,25; div cx and dx,dx; jne @T {its a century} and al,3; jne @S @T: {leap} mov ax,29; jmp @E @S: {noleap} mov ax,28; jmp @E @N: {Nope, calc moth day's} mov ax,15 shr bl,1; rcl ax,1 cmp bl,4; jb @E xor ax,1 @E: end; function GetDaysInYear(Year:Word):Word; {Returns the total number of days in a year} assembler; asm mov ax,2 push ax push year call GetDaysInMonth add ax,(365-28) end;
