Is this IF statement logic correct? (Time between)

Hi guys,
does this look correct:
Code: Select all
time = os.date("*t")
theHour = time.hour
if ((theHour > 23 and theHour < 24) or (theHour < 7 and theHour >= 0)) then
-- A time between 11pm and 7am???
end
Does this look like it will trigger between 11pm and 7am?
Is there a better way to do this?
Many thanks.

Not really
try
Code: Select all
time = os.date("*t")
if time.hour > 22 or time.hour < 7 then
print ('between 23:00 and 6:59:59')
else
print ('NOT between 23:00 and 6:59:59')
end

Thank you so much.
It seems so obvious. Lol. I don’t know how I came up with such a complicated non-working solution

Code:
Code: Select all
function timebetween(s,e)
timenow = os.date("*t")
year = timenow.year
month = timenow.month
day = timenow.day
s = s .. ":00"
e = e .. ":00"
shour = string.sub(s, 1, 2)
sminutes = string.sub(s, 4, 5)
sseconds = string.sub(s, 7, 8)
ehour = string.sub(e, 1, 2)
eminutes = string.sub(e, 4, 5)
eseconds = string.sub(e, 7, 8)
t1 = os.time()
t2 = os.time{year=year, month=month, day=day, hour=shour, min=sminutes, sec=sseconds}
t3 = os.time{year=year, month=month, day=day, hour=ehour, min=eminutes, sec=eseconds}
sdifference = os.difftime (t1, t2)
edifference = os.difftime (t1, t3)
isbetween = false
if sdifference >= 0 and edifference <= 0 then
isbetween = true
end
return isbetween
end
Example:
Code: Select all
if timebetween("00:01:00","06:00:00") then
Example 2:
Code: Select all
if timebetween("04:14:00","06:23:00") then

This function does not work for the question from the op. It does not take date crossings into account.
try
Code: Select all
if timebetween("23:00:00", "11:59:00") then
in the morning
