# Method Calendar.Stardate.cTick()->create()

Method create

  `void Calendar.Stardate.cTick(mixed ... args)`
  `void Calendar.Stardate.cTick(int|float date)`
  `void Calendar.Stardate.cTick()`

Description

  Apart from the standard creation methods (julian day, etc), you can create a stardate from the stardate number. The length of the period will then be zero.

  You can also omit any arguments to create now.

Bugs

  Since the precision is limited to the float type of Pike you can get non-precise results:

  > Calendar.Second(Calendar.Stardate.Day(Calendar.Year())); Result: Second(Fri 31 Dec 1999 23:59:18 CET - Sun 31 Dec 2000 23:59:18 CET)
