Subtract n hours from a DateTime in Ruby
datetime, hour, ruby, subtraction
Solution
You could do this.
adjusted_datetime = (datetime_from_form.to_time - n.hours).to_datetime
Problem
I have a Ruby DateTime which gets filled from a form. Additionally I have n hours from the form as well. I'd like to subtract those n hours from the previous DateTime. (To get a time range). DateTime has two methods "-" and "<<" to subtract day and month, but not hour. (API). Any suggestions how I can do that?
