# WithinPastWeeks

Check whether two TDateTimes are only a number of weeks apart

## Declaration

Source position: dateutil.inc line 258

`function WithinPastWeeks(`
`const ANow: TDateTime;`
`const AThen: TDateTime;`
`const AWeeks: Integer`
`):Boolean;`

## Arguments

`ANow` |  | First moment in time
`AThen` |  | Second moment in time
`AWeeks` |  | Number of weeks to check

## Function result

True if ANow and Athen are only AWeeks apart, false otherwise

## Description

WithinPastWeeks compares the timestamps ANow and AThen and returns True if the difference between them is at most AWeeks weeks apart, or False if they are further apart.

Remark: | Since this function uses the WeeksBetween function to calculate the difference in Weeks, this means that fractional Weeks do not count, and the fractional part is simply dropped, so for two dates actually 2 and a half weeks apart, the result will also be True
