Hey Guys,

Well, the email I sent *wasn't* really a BASIC program but rather a math formula. The M100 BASIC doesn't have a function called "Floor" ... it is called "INT". But also I noticed the reference on Wikipedia that I was looking at was for Eastern Orthodox Easter date, not modern day Gregorian.

The formula for modern day Gregorian is actually much more compilicated involving 11 intermediate variables. While writing this equation out long-hand using only the year variable (Y) would look super impressive, it would be quite long and not very efficient in terms of computations.

So for completeness (being the programmer that I am), I coded and tested it in M100 BASIC:

10 DIMM$[12]
15 DATA "Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"
20 FORX=1TO12:READM$[X]:NEXT
25 INPUT"Year (0 to quit)";Y
30 IFY=0THENEND
35 A=YMOD19
40 B=INT(Y/100):C=YMOD100
45 D=INT(B/4)  :E=BMOD4
50 G=INT((8*B+13)/25)
55 H=(19*A+B-D-G+15)MOD30
60 I=INT(C/4)  :K=CMOD4
70 L=(32+2*E+2*I-H-K)MOD7
75 M=INT((A+11*H+19*L)/433)
80 N=INT((H+L-7*M+90)/25)
85 P=(H+L-7*M+33*N+19)MOD32
90 PRINT "Easter day: ";M$[N];P
95 GOTO25
