Question

@a = a Date
@b = Todays date
In my project I want to confirm @b is not more than 1 day from @a.
means when a user registered at @a he want to activate his account within 1 day.How can we do that..Am using Ruby on rails 2.3.8

NB: Ask me if u didn’t get my question

Answer 1

def not_long_ago?( date )
  ((DateTime.now - 1.day)..DateTime.now) === date
end

or just

def not_long_ago?( date )
  date >= DateTime.now - 1.day
end

and the best one (rails way, I think)

def not_long_ago?( date )
  date >= 1.day.ago
end
