Explanation
- Line 2: We create a time object using the
Time.nowattribute that returns the current time object. - Line 3: We use the
Time.at()method to create a time object by passing the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch. - Line 4: We use the
Time.new()method to create a new time object by passing it the year 2021. - Line 5: We use the
Time.local()method to create a time object by passing in the year, month, and day of the month. - Lines 9 to 12: We call the
ydayattribute on the time objects we created and print their results to the console.
