How is Cleantime
Calculated? |
| There may be some confusion as to how we calculate
cleantime. We do it exactly the same way that it's done in NA
meetings: |
| 1) |
If the cleantime is less than, or equal to, 90
days: |
| |
Here, we count days. Months and dates don't really come into
play. This means that 30 days is actually 30 days. February
15th to March 15th is 28 days in a non-leap year, and 29 days
in a leap year. You don't get 30 days until March 16th or 17th. |
| 2) |
If the cleantime is greater than 90 days: |
| |
Here we count by dates. This means that February 15th to June
15th is considered 4 months and February 15th to August 15th
is six months exactly. February 15th to August 31st is six months
and 16 days. February 15th to September 1st is six months and
17 days. You don't have seven months until September 15th. February
15th to May 16th is 90 days, but February 15th to May 17th is
three months and two days. |
| Confused? You should try writing the code to figure
it out! It's a complex little algorithm, and may suffer from
errors. If you find errors in the calculations, please
tell us: |
| 1) |
The exact date that you entered. |
| 2) |
The result: both the years/months/days and the "One Day
At A Time"s. Also tell us which key tags were shown, and
whether or not there was a "Congratulations!" or "Happy
Anniversary!" banner. |
| 3) |
The results that you expected. |
| We want it to work well, but we'll need your help.
Just telling us "It's malfunctioning" or "It
doesn't work" is no help. We have tested it as well as
possible, and think that it works fine. We need you to tell
us what to do to get incorrect results. |
| We sincerely believe that this is the best cleantime
calculator in the World. This is the only one (we know of) that
was written specifically by NA members, for NA members. |
