Return an array with the current date in the formats:
-- 2007-11-23 and
-- Sunday, November 23, 2007
-Example output: ['2007-11-23', 'Sunday, November 23, 2007']
['2007-11-23', 'Sunday, November 23, 2007']
Given a date string in EST, output the given date as a string with 12 hours added to the time.
-Time zone should be preserved.
-Example input:
-"March 7 2009 7:30pm EST"
Example output:
-"March 8 2009 7:30am EST"
"March 7 2009 7:30pm EST"
+Example output: "March 8 2009 7:30am EST"
A company decides that whenever Xmas falls on a Sunday they will give their workers all extra paid holidays so that, together with any public holidays, workers will not have to work the following week (between the 25th of December and the first of January).
-Task:
-Write a function that takes a start year and an end year and return an array of all the years where the 25th of December will be a Sunday.

Jim Horne, at Microsoft, changed the name to FreeCell and reimplemented the game for DOS, then Windows.
-This version introduced 32000 numbered deals. (The FreeCell FAQ tells this history.)
As the game became popular, Jim Horne disclosed the algorithm, and other implementations of FreeCell began to reproduce the Microsoft deals.
-These deals are numbered from 1 to 32000.
-Newer versions from Microsoft have 1 million deals, numbered from 1 to 1000000; some implementations allow numbers outside that range.
The algorithm uses this linear congruential generator from Microsoft C:
$state_{n + 1} \equiv 214013 \times state_n + 2531011 \pmod{2^{31}}$ -$rand_n = state_n \div 2^{16}$ -$rand_n$ is in range 0 to 32767. -The algorithm follows:
Seed the RNG with the number of the deal. -Create an array of 52 cards: Ace of Clubs, Ace of Diamonds, Ace of Hearts, Ace of Spades, 2 of Clubs, 2 of Diamonds, and so on through the ranks: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King. The array indexes are 0 to 51, with Ace of Clubs at 0, and King of Spades at 51. -Until the array is empty: - Choose a random card at index ≡ next random number (mod array length). - Swap this random card with the last card of the array. - Remove this random card from the array. (Array length goes down by 1.) - Deal this random card. -Deal all 52 cards, face up, across 8 columns. The first 8 cards go in 8 columns, the next 8 cards go on the first 8 cards, and so on. -Example: -Order to deal cards
