Hello,
According to documentation I have:
subtype DAY_DURATION is DURATION range 0.0 .. 86_400.0;
How is midnight meant to be represented?
I would have assumed it would be 0.0, the next day, but preliminary
tests, unless I am confused, seem to show it is represented as
86_400.0 (using gnat compiler for Windows)? The following quote from
the documentation would seem to imply I am correct; "SECONDS
indicating the number of seconds past midnight", but I am getting
behaviour which suggests otherwise.
Why are both 0.0 and 86_400.0 defined to be legal values? Aren't they
both the same thing (but one day apart)?
