I saw some discussion about Duration and year calculus in the list
Given that it is impossible to determine the number of days in a year
without the calendar years, should not 365.25 be used in place of 365 to
minimize the error ?
So it could look like:
Duration class >> years: aNumber
^ self days: (aNumber * 365.25) truncated seconds: 0
I think it depends :)
What use do you want to make of the answer.
If for loan, bank or mortgage calculations then you need the days and
adjustments and other info.
If for tens of years it might work
If to know the number of days it needs to be an integer.
There is no one correct solution
