Script didn't compile due to this line:
days = DaysPerMonth(mt++);

Changed that line to:
days = DaysPerMonth(year,mt++);

Leap Years

Unix time is usable from 1970 to 2037 ... so why does this script's leap year test include handling for centuries that are not multiples of 400 years? A touch of overkill? Omei Qunhua 16:09, 11 January 2013 (PST)

Compacting

Any objections if I replace 3 user functions with the following compact versions?

<lsl> // This leap year test works for all years from 1901 to 2099 (yes, including 2000) // Which is more than enough for UnixTime computations, which only operates over the range [1970, 2038]. integer LeapYear( integer year) {

   return !(year & 3);

}

integer DaysPerMonth(integer year, integer month) {

   if (month == 2)  	return 28 + LeapYear(year);
   return 30 + ( (month + (month > 7) ) & 1);           // Odd months up to July, and even months after July, have 31 days

}

integer DaysPerYear(integer year) {

   return 365 + LeapYear(year);

} </lsl>
