WithinPastWeeks

Check whether two TDateTimes are only a number of weeks apart

Declaration

Source position: dateutil.inc line 258

function WithinPastWeeks(

  const ANow: TDateTime;

  const AThen: TDateTime;

  const AWeeks: Integer

):Boolean;

Arguments

ANow

  

First moment in time

AThen

  

Second moment in time

AWeeks

  

Number of weeks to check

Function result

True if ANow and Athen are only AWeeks apart, false otherwise

Description

WithinPastWeeks compares the timestamps ANow and AThen and returns True if the difference between them is at most AWeeks weeks apart, or False if they are further apart.

Remark: Since this function uses the WeeksBetween function to calculate the difference in Weeks, this means that fractional Weeks do not count, and the fractional part is simply dropped, so for two dates actually 2 and a half weeks apart, the result will also be True
