Why is subtracting these two times (in 1927) giving a strange result?

Question

If I run the following program, which parses two date strings referencing times 1 second apart and compares them:

public static void main(String[] args) throw         


        

Answer 1

When incrementing time you should convert back to UTC and then add or subtract. Use the local time only for display.

This way you will be able to walk through any periods where hours or minutes happen twice.

If you converted to UTC, add each second, and convert to local time for display. You would go through 11:54:08 p.m. LMT - 11:59:59 p.m. LMT and then 11:54:08 p.m. CST - 11:59:59 p.m. CST.
