Make a Time.local object which incorporates a Date object in Ruby

Question

Hi so in ruby im trying to make a program that takes an argument and returns the date exactly "x" number of months ago, I got it to say the year month and date but couldn't get it to display the hours minutes and seconds. any suggestions? Thanks

require "Time"
require "Date"
class "Time"
def months_ago(n)
y = Time.now.year
d = Time.now.day
mn = Time.now.month
s = Time.now.sec
h = Time.now.hour
m = Date.civil(y, mn, d)
m <<(n)
end
end
a = Time.new.months_ago(4)
puts a 

Answer 1

Use DateTime:

require 'date'
puts DateTime.now << 4
