It was thus said that the Great Muh Muhten once stated:

Of course, one could rewrite the function to remove the call to
math.floor() to apease the Great Pedantic One:
function fromjulianday(jd)
local a = jd + 32044
local b = (4 * a + 3) // 146097
local c = a - (b * 146097) // 4
local d = (4 * c + 3) // 1461
local e = c - (1461 * d) // 4
local m = (5 * e + 2) // 153
return {
day = e - (153 * m + 2) // 5 + 1,
month = m + 3 - 12 * (m // 10),
year = b * 100 + d - 4800 + (m // 10)
}
end
This is Lua 5.3 specific code where '//' is integer division.
