AbsoluteTime with an integer argument behaves strangely.
- by dreeves
This is strange:
DateList@AbsoluteTime[596523]
returns
{2078, 7, 2, 2, 42, 9.7849}
But
DateList@AbsoluteTime[596524]
returns
{1942, 5, 26, 20, 28, 39.5596}
The question: What's going on?
Note that AbsoluteTime with an integer argument is undocumented.
(I think I now know what it's doing but figured this is useful to have as a StackOverflow question for future reference; and I'm curious if there's some reason for that magic 596523 number.)
