HP Prime, TI-84 Plus, and Casio fx-CG 50: Julian Date/Gregorian Calendar Conversions

HP Prime, TI-84 Plus, and Casio fx-CG 50:  Julian Date/Gregorian Calendar Conversions

Introduction

One conversion that is common in astronomy is to convert dates from our Gregorian calendar (the most commonly used day-to-day calendar) to a Julian Date Number, and visa versa.

JD:  Convert Gregorian Date to Julian Date Number

GREG:  Convert Julian Date Number to Gregorian Date

The Julian date number of 2451545 corresponds to January 1, 2000.

Gregorian Date to Julian Date Number

HP Prime Program JD:  Gregorian Date to Julian Date Number
Arguments:  four digit year, month, day
JD(y,m,d)

EXPORT JD(y,m,d)
BEGIN
// Gregorian to Julian
// year, month, day
// 2019-01-12 EWS
//  Wikipedia
LOCAL x0:=IP((m-14)/12);
LOCAL x1:=IP(((1461*(y+4800+x0))/4));
LOCAL x3:=IP(367*(m-2-12*x0)/12);
LOCAL x5:=IP((y+4900+x0)/100);
LOCAL x6:=IP(3*x5/4);
LOCAL j:=x1+x3-x6+d-32075;
RETURN j;
END;
