Re: [julia-users] How to convert Int64 to Date

2016-01-23 Thread Jacob Quinn 
The easiest way right now is to do

Date(Dates.UTD(735685))

It's a bit awkward, and I think we should have a better default option.
Perhaps we should define `convert(::Type{Date}, x::Int64)` defined for this.

Jacob,

I agree -- in both directions:  convert(::Type(Date), x::Int64) and 
convert(::Type(Int64), x::Date).

I want to convert an Int64 value 735685 to Date type (2016-1-22). 
convert(Date,735685) does not work.  Does anyone know how to do this?
