Have I had lunch yet?

Question

You love lunch. However, you are on a diet and want to make sure you don't accidentally eat lunch twice in one day. So you need to make a program to help you make sure.

However, one complication is that you eat lunch on a very weird schedule. The time you eat lunch at is MONTH:DAY PM (you can use UTC or localized time zone). That's right, if the day is July 14, you eat lunch at 7:14 PM.

For your program, you need to use the current date and time (don't take input), and output a consistent truthy value if you have already eaten lunch for the day (or it is lunch time now), or a consistent falsy value if you haven't.

Examples: (Time you run program => output)

• May 4th 11:35 AM => false (you will eat lunch at 5:04 PM)
• June 3rd 5:45 PM => false (you will eat lunch at 6:03 PM)
• July 28th 8:30 PM => true (you ate lunch at 7:28 PM)
• December 15th 3:25 PM => true (you ate lunch at 12:15 PM)
• February 29th 2:29 PM => true (it is exactly lunch time)
• October 12th 12:00 AM => false (day just started)

Answer 1

Swift 3, 310 bytes

import Foundation;var n=String(describing:Date());var k=n.startIndex;print(Int(n[n.index(k,offsetBy:5)...n.index(k,offsetBy:6)])!*60+Int(n[n.index(k,offsetBy:8)...n.index(k,offsetBy:9)])!+720<=Int(n[n.index(k,offsetBy:11)...n.index(k,offsetBy:12)])!*60+Int(n[n.index(k,offsetBy:14)...n.index(k,offsetBy:15)])!)

Check it out!

This prints true and false, for truthy and falsy respectively.

NOTE: This only works until the year 9999, at 11:59:59 PM, because it uses Strings to compare the dates.

diff(str2num([(d=datestr(now,'mmddHHMM'))(1:4);d(5:8)]))>1200

Try it online!

Explanation:

First the functions:

• now() returns the time on a decimal format. The parentheses are optional.
• datestr converts a decimal number to a string on the format given in its second argument
• str2num converts a string to a number
• diff takes the difference between two numbers

Breakdown:

We take this from the middle:

diff(str2num([(d=datestr(now,'mmddHHMM'))(1:4);d(5:8)]))>1200

datestr(now,'mmddHHMM'): First we take the current time now as input to datestr and specifies the format mmddHHMM. The letters mean: mm = month, dd = day, HH = hour, MM = minutes and AM specifies that the hours should be on a 12-hour format. No separators are included, to keep it as short as possible. It outputs d = 07142117 on the time of writing this explanation. I'll refer to that part as x from now.

[(d=x)(1:4);d(5:8)]: Stores the string above, as d, then creates an array with two elements, the first four characters, then the 5-9 characters. This gives:

ans =
0714
2122

Where the numbers are stored as strings, not numbers. We'll call the result above for y below.

str2num(y) converts the array of characters to numbers, where each row turns into one number. This gives [714; 2122]. We'll call the result for z.

diff(z)>1200 takes the difference between the two numbers and checks if the current time is 1200 higher than the current date. This accounts for AM/PM. This gives us the desired result.

PHP and other languages with these common functions: about 28 to 29 bytes:

echo eval(date('Gi-1199>md')); 

or alternatively

<?=eval(date('Gi-1199>md'))?>

both of which will print.

possibly with ?1:0 depending on representation. Possibly bytes cut if a language is used that has implicit echo, or no final ';'.

Why would one get the values into variables and all the rest, when it's not needed :)
date() leaves anything as literals that isn't defined, so for example, 7 May 2017 17:22:43 passes the expression 1722 - 1200 >= 507 to eval(). Byte saved by changing it to the equivalent 1722 - 1199 > 507.

Who says eval is dead? ;-)

Mathematica, 65 64 62 bytes

3 Programs

p=Date[][[#]]&;{60,1}.#&/@(p[4;;5]>=p[2;;3]+{12+p@2~Mod~12,0})

{60,1}.#&/@(#[[4;;5]]>=#[[2;;3]]+{12+#[[2]]~Mod~12,0})&@Date[]

{60,1}.#&/@(#[4;;5]>=#[2;;3]+{12+#@2~Mod~12,0})&[Date[][[#]]&]

These are each one byte less if ≥ counts as a single byte in Mathematica.

Explanations

1. Date[] returns a list in the form {y,m,d,h,m,s}. So Date[][[4;;5]] are the hours and minutes of the current time.
2. p=Date[][[#]]&; makes p a function that takes in the indices we want and gives us those parts of the date.
3. {60,1}.#& is an anonymous function that takes the dot product of {60,1} and the input to get a way to compare times. It's one byte shorter than TimeObject.
4. p@2 is equivalent to p[2], the number of the month.
5. +{12+p@2~Mod~12,0} adds {12,0} to the month and date when we're not in December, and adds {0,0} otherwise. (Thanks, michi7x7!)
6. >= is the comparison operator, but we can't compare {hours, minutes} to {adjusted month, date} entrywise...
7. /@ maps {60,1}.#& to both sides of the inequality in parentheses, so we can compare times correctly.
8. For the programs that start with {60,1}.#&, they use # to represent the input to a big anonymous function, and & to signify the end.
9. @Date[] Applies the big function on its line (which extracts parts of a list) to the date list itself.
10. [Date[][[#]]&] Applies the big function on its line to another anonymous function, one which extracts parts of the date list.

Bonus

As an aside, if we ate lunch between 1AM and 12:59PM, then we could save 25 bytes with just {60,1}.#&[Date[][[#]]]&/@(4;;5>=2;;3).

You can test all of these out by pasting the code into the Wolfram Cloud sandbox and clicking Gear->Evaluate Cell or hitting Shift+Enter or Numpad Enter.

=TIME(MONTH(NOW())+12,DAY(NOW()),0)<=MOD(NOW(),1)

Input is this formula in any cell.
Output is either TRUE or FALSE.

Excel's built-in date handling helps a lot.
The TIME function returns the day's lunch time as a time value which, if converted to a date, would use Jan 0, 1900. We compare it against NOW - TODAY so we get the current time with a date value of 0 or Jan 0, 1900.

Matlab, 241 bytes

dt=datestr(now,'mm/dd');
dt(2)
dt(4:5)
CrctLchTm=[' ' dt(2) ':' dt(4:5) ' PM']
CrntTm=datestr(now,'HH:MM PM')
CrntTm(7)=='A'
if ans==1
    Lch='false'
else
    CrctLchTm=str2num([CrctLchTm(2) CrctLchTm(4:5)])
    CrntTm=str2num([CrntTm(2) CrntTm(4:5)])
    CrntTm<CrctLchTm
    if ans==1
        Lch='false'
    else
        Lch='true'             
    end    
end

Explanation: First, I obtain the date as a string. Then, I isolate the month and day. Since the problem states that it is always interpreted as PM, then I automatically write false if the time is in AM. If the current time is in PM, then I continue on and just compare the numbers of the time.

Note: I've formatted it slightly differently here for readability.
