check time between 9.30 to 4 ruby

Question

i have a code that erroneously produces it and i am thinking that there must be a better way to check for time >9.30 am and time <4 pm any ideas is highly appreicated.<

Answer 1

Working in a mixed version environment and needing this exact method here's what I put in my code:

if RUBY_VERSION == "1.9.3"
  def check_time(starthour,endhour,t=Time.now)
    early = Time.new(t.year, t.month, t.day, starthour, 0, 0)
    late  = Time.new(t.year, t.month, t.day, endhour, 0, 0)
    t.between?(early, late)
  end
elsif RUBY_VERSION == "1.8.7"
  def check_time(starthour,endhour,t=Time.now)
    early = Time.local(t.year, t.month, t.day, starthour, 0, 0)
    late  = Time.local(t.year, t.month, t.day, endhour, 0, 0)
    t.between?(early, late)
  end
end
