<pre>I just discovered that LibreOffice seems to contain two different
implementations of date and time arithmetic: One for Calc and maybe Writer,
another for Basic. These implementations sometime return different values for
the same calculations, see <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_UNCONFIRMED "
title="UNCONFIRMED - Date & time functions in StarBasic and Calc return different results"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=133389">bug 133389</a>.
There are also independent descriptions of corresponding functions. Some
examples:
MINUTE function in Calc:
<a href="https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_minute.html">https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_minute.html</a>
Minute function in Basic:
<a href="https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03030202.html?DbPAR=BASIC">https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03030202.html?DbPAR=BASIC</a>
TIME function in Calc:
<a href="https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_time.html">https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_time.html</a>
TimeSerial function in Basic:
<a href="https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03030205.html?DbPAR=BASIC">https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03030205.html?DbPAR=BASIC</a>
The description of the TimeSerial function explains how this function handles
parameters that are outside their usual range. There is no such information in
the description of the corresponding TIME function.
Corresponding functions should behave in essentially the same way same.
Therefore their descriptions should contain "See also" links referring to each
other: Information that is missing in one the description of some function may
be available in the description of the corresponding function.</pre>
