New Calendar calculation factors
a number of general and specific methods for formatting and factoring dates and times are described in a variety of other resources including operating system documentation, application documentation, UNIX manual pages, APIs for Java and other languages, ISO 8601, and so forth.
developers and users should consider any scale factors among the New Calendar scale, the New Calendar Day Notation scale, and other scales of years and days. the use of a particular method of calculation or factoring may involve the following considerations: the particular scale that a time, day, or year is derived from; the relationships among particular scale factors; the particular fixed or coordinated implementation of a particular scale to dates in the far past or far future; and whether the designation or observance of a particular date is based on a particular scale.
- factor a UCA- or AD-era year to an NC-era year by adding 10 000. likewise factor a UCA- or AD-era NC year to a UCA or an AD year by subtracting 10 000.
- factor a BC-era year* to NC by subtracting from 10 001. also factor a BC-era NC year to a BC year* by subtracting from 10 001 (*subject to BC-year conformance with New Calendar year).
to calculate a New Calendar Day Notation date from a UCN date for years in a positive scale:
- take the year component of the date (is equivalent to number of prior whole years from beginning of scale to the year of the particular day to be specified) A.
- multiply year component A by 365 days for intermediate number of days B.
- divide year component A by 4 and take integer value for intermediate number of leap years C.
- divide year component A by 100 and take integer value for century year adjustment D.
- divide year component A by 400 and take integer value for century leap year adjustment E.
- apply year zero leap adjustment Z: if year component A is greater than or equal to 1, then Z = 1, otherwise Z = 0.
- (determine any further leap year adjustments to reflect correct methods of year and day counting)
- determine number of particular leap days F = C - D + E + Z.
- determine day number of the last day of the last prior whole year G = B + F.
- determine day-of-year number of the day to be counted H.
- determine NDN day notation number J = H + G.
UCN 12000A01 at IDC t500 deka(0) corresponds to NDN 4382911.5 and to JD 2451545 and provides a calculation factor of 1 931 366.5 days between the NDN and JD scales.
Macintosh computer serial dating day 0 at UCN 11904A01 corresponds to NDN 4347847 and to AD 1904 January 01, and provides a calculation factor of 4 347 847 days between the NDN and Macintosh serial dating scales (based on UT time for both scales).
Windows computer serial dating day 1 at UCN 11900A01 corresponds to NDN 4346387 and to AD 1900 January 01, and provides a calculation factor of 4 346 386 days between the NDN and Windows serial dating scales (based on UT time for both scales).
table 2041.1 ✧ some New Calendar formula resources
| resource | formula |
|---|---|
| resource | formula |
| for any NC-era year yNC, for any Gregorian-era year yG (AD 1582 or later per Gregorian calendar), for any Julian* BC-era year yBC (*subject to yBC conformance with New Calendar year), for any Julian Day day JD, for any New Calendar Day Notation day NDN, for any Macintosh computer serial date dateMac (based on UT for all scales), for any Windows computer serial date dateWin (based on UT for all scales): | |
| 4 and 100 year rule | IF (yNC/4) = INTEGER(yNC/4) AND IF (yNC/100) does NOT EQUAL integer of (yNC/100), THEN yNC is a leap year. |
| 400 year rule | IF (yNC/400) = INTEGER(yNC/400), THEN year is a leap year. |
| year zero rule | IF yNC = zero, THEN yNC is a leap year. |
| leap year rule | IF either the 4 and 100 year rule, the 400 year rule, OR the year zero rules is TRUE, THEN a yNC is a leap year. |
| G to NC calculation | yNC = yG + 10 000. |
| G to NC correspondence | NC 12000 corresponds to AD 2000. |
| UCA to NC calculation | yNC = yUCA + 10 000. |
| NC to UCA calculation | yUCA = yNC - 10 000. |
| NC to BC calculation | yNC = 10 001 - yBC. |
| BC to NC calculation | yBC = 10 001 -yNC. |
| JD to NDN calculation | NDN = JD + 1 931 366.5. |
| MJD to NDN calculation | NDN = MJD + 4331367. |
| NDN to JD calculation | JD = NDN - 1 931 366.5. |
| NDN to MJD calculation | MJD = NDN - 4331367. |
| dateMac to NDN calculation | NDN = dateMac + 4 347 847. |
| dateWin to NDN calculation | NDN = dateWin + 4 346 386. |
| special note: ensure that numerical expressions are represented to an appropriate number of places, even if the beginning places are leading zeroes. | |
