Integer and Date Time

[[Deleted]]

Hello, 

I have this code to get the GMT in second, it give warning that I convert from datatime to int, yes, I know that. How to get rid of the warning? Can someone please help?

int GetGMTinSec () {
        return (TimeTradeServer()-TimeGMT());
}

Make an explicit typecast. However, please note that a "datetime" is equivalent to a "long" and not an "int".

So, only use "int" for a time difference and not an actual full date and time, or else you will suffer information loss.

int GetGMTinSec( void ) {
   return int( TimeTradeServer() - TimeGMT() );
};

Please note this code doesn't give you the "GMT in seconds". It gives you the broker server GMT time shift in seconds.
