<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQDate class provides date functions.
<p>
<p> A TQDate object contains a calendar date, i.e. year, month, and day
numbers, in the modern Western (Gregorian) calendar. It can read
the current date from the system clock. It provides functions for
comparing dates and for manipulating dates, e.g. by adding a
number of days or months or years.
<p> A TQDate object is typically created either by giving the year,
month and day numbers explicitly, or by using the static function
<a href="#currentDate">currentDate</a>(), which creates a TQDate object containing the system
clock's date. An explicit date can also be set using <a href="#setYMD">setYMD</a>(). The
<a href="#fromString">fromString</a>() function returns a TQDate given a string and a date
format which is used to interpret the date within the string.
<p> The <a href="#year">year</a>(), <a href="#month">month</a>(), and <a href="#day">day</a>() functions provide access to the
year, month, and day numbers. Also, <a href="#dayOfWeek">dayOfWeek</a>() and <a href="#dayOfYear">dayOfYear</a>()
functions are provided. The same information is provided in
textual format by the <a href="#toString">toString</a>(), <a href="#shortDayName">shortDayName</a>(), <a href="#longDayName">longDayName</a>(),
<a href="#shortMonthName">shortMonthName</a>() and <a href="#longMonthName">longMonthName</a>() functions.
<p> TQDate provides a full set of operators to compare two TQDate
objects where smaller means earlier and larger means later.
<p> You can increment (or decrement) a date by a given number of days
using <a href="#addDays">addDays</a>(). Similarly you can use <a href="#addMonths">addMonths</a>() and <a href="#addYears">addYears</a>().
The <a href="#daysTo">daysTo</a>() function returns the number of days between two
dates.
<p> The <a href="#daysInMonth">daysInMonth</a>() and <a href="#daysInYear">daysInYear</a>() functions return how many days
there are in this date's month and year, respectively. The
<a href="#leapYear">leapYear</a>() function indicates whether this date is in a leap year.
<p> Note that TQDate should not be used for date calculations for dates
prior to the introduction of the Gregorian calendar. This calendar
was adopted by England from the 14<sup><small>th</small></sup>
September 1752 (hence this is the earliest valid TQDate), and
subsequently by most other Western countries, until 1923.
<p> The end of time is reached around the year 8000, by which time we
expect TQt to be obsolete.

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="toString-2"></a>TQDate::toString ( <a href="ntqt.html#DateFormat-enum">TQt::DateFormat</a>&nbsp;f = TQt::TextDate ) const
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Returns the date as a string. The <em>f</em> parameter determines the
format of the string.
<p> If <em>f</em> is <a href="ntqt.html#DateFormat-enum">TQt::TextDate</a>, the string format is "Sat May 20 1995"
(using the <a href="#shortDayName">shortDayName</a>() and <a href="#shortMonthName">shortMonthName</a>() functions to
generate the string, so the day and month names are locale
specific).
<p> If <em>f</em> is <a href="ntqt.html#DateFormat-enum">TQt::ISODate</a>, the string format corresponds to the
ISO 8601 specification for representations of dates, which is
YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY is the year, MM is the month of the year
(between 01 and 12), and DD is the day of the month between 01 and
31.
<p> If <em>f</em> is <a href="ntqt.html#DateFormat-enum">TQt::LocalDate</a>, the string format depends on the
locale settings of the system.
<p> If the date is an invalid date, then <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a> will be returned.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#shortDayName">shortDayName</a>() and <a href="#shortMonthName">shortMonthName</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="weekNumber"></a>TQDate::weekNumber ( int&nbsp;*&nbsp;yearNumber = 0 ) const
</h3>
Returns the week number (1 to 53), and stores the year in <em>*yearNumber</em> unless <em>yearNumber</em> is null (the default).
<p> Returns 0 if the date is invalid.
<p> In accordance with ISO 8601, weeks start on Monday and the first
Thursday of a year is always in week 1 of that year. Most years
have 52 weeks, but some have 53.
<p> <em>*yearNumber</em> is not always the same as <a href="#year">year</a>(). For example, 1
January 2000 has week number 52 in the year 1999, and 31 December
2002 has week number 1 in the year 2003.
