Yeah, that's a good idea.
The situation is that I'm writing some scheduler code that allows users
to select one or more days of the week and (separately) months of the
year. The database against which I'm working stores a bitmask of the
days selected, but where 1=Monday ~ 7=Sunday (so 5 = Monday and
Wednesday).
However, having asked the question and rolled up the old shirt-sleeves,
I think that worrying about changing the date values isn't probably the
way to go.
So far, I've got a generic bitmask component (below) and am about to
write getValues(), which I suspect should probably return a 1D array of
powers of 2 that make up the current bitmask value. Then, when storing
the values, I can supply addValue() not with the direct value of 1~7,
but with the whatever value is stored in it's position in a 2D array
like this
[1] = 7
[2] = 1
...
[7] = 6
which will allow me to offset the days. Not having done this before, I'm
slightly winging it (and am probably coming across as a bit
harf-assed)...
