| Arguments |
|
| timeIntervalSinceNow |
Double: seconds to add. |
Date (timeIntervalSince1970: Double)
It creates a set up instance with the instant ´1 January 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC’ adding the seconds indicated in the parameter ‘timeIntervalSince1970’.
| Arguments |
|
| timeIntervalSince1970 |
Double: seconds to add. |
Date (year: Integer, month: Integer, day: Integer, hour: Integer, minutes: Integer, seconds: Integer, UTCOffset: Integer)
It creates a set up instance with and instant in UTC format using the parameters year, month, day, time, minutes. The UTCOffset parameter enables the addition of the difference in hours in relation to 0:00hs UTC to the instant.
| Arguments |
|
| year |
Integer: year. |
| month |
