suggestion: Decoding the date information with MJD!

[ClashC]

Hello,
I use for my project the decoding of the date information about MJD.
This information i have from here: http://pic-projekte.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=14&p=7475&#p7458
Maybe you like it too? :)

Example:

void DisplayTime(uint8_t hour, uint8_t minute, uint32_t mjd) {
  //SetRTCTime(hour, minute);
  setRTCdatefromMJD(mjd);
} // DisplayTime()
...
void setRTCdatefromMJD(uint32_t mjd)
{
  int k;

  int _year = (int) ((mjd - 15078.2) / 365.25);
  int _month = (int) ((mjd - 14956.1 - (int)(_year * 365.25)) / 30.6001);
  int _date = (int) (mjd - 14956 - (int)(_year * 365.25) - (int)(_month * 30.6001));

  k = (_month == 14 || _month == 15) ? 1 : 0;
  _year = _year + k;
  _month = _month - 1 - k * 12;
  //_month--;

  long WD=(long)((mjd+2) % 7)+1; //modulo 7 | Day of the Week
... Code ...
}

When I try to use this, I'm not getting back an accurate year, although month and day are good.

mjd = 58933

should result in 3/25/2020 but the year is showing as 120. Is there additional conversion that should be applied to it?

[getSurreal]

After further research I discovered that you add 1900 to the mjd year value.
