Out of interest... I was poking around looking for the fastest way of
getting a month as integer (French Vanilla [above], iterating across a list
of months looking for a match, etc) and found the following to be quickest
overall:
======================================================================
on monthToInteger(theMonth)
if theMonth is January then return 1
if theMonth is February then return 2
if theMonth is March then return 3
if theMonth is April then return 4
if theMonth is May then return 5
if theMonth is June then return 6
if theMonth is July then return 7
if theMonth is August then return 8
if theMonth is September then return 9
if theMonth is October then return 10
if theMonth is November then return 11
if theMonth is December then return 12
error "Invalid value (not a month)."
end monthToInteger
======================================================================
Not beautiful, but it's faster than the FV method on the first 10 months
(and much faster than the list iteration method).
I think someone also came up with a simplified FV method a while back - I'd
be interested in comparing that for speed if anyone has it.
Cheers
