Daf Yomi: Hebcal reports Midot 34 as Tamid 34

JosephSilber opened this issue · 2 comments

I think I may have found a bug in the naming of a particular daf in the daf yomi calculations.

Current Result

The following yields Tamid 34:

new Hebcal.HDate(new Date('2019-10-21 00:00:00')).dafyomi('h')

...as can be seen in this screenshot:

Expected

However, folio number 34 is actually the first daf of Midot, not the last of Tamid. Here's a link to that folio: http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=37968&st=&pgnum=850

Looking at the daf yomi calendar, we can also see that they've labeled it as Midot:

I think the bug is here:

hebcal-js/src/dafyomi.js

Lines 120 to 132 in fcf7cbb

switch (count) {
case 36:
blatt = blatt + 21;
break;
case 37:
blatt = blatt + 24;
break;
case 38:
blatt = blatt + 33;
break;
default:
break;
}

For reference, here's a list of all the dafim according to the accepted Daf Yomi calendar (note that each folio is earmarked for the tractate with which it starts).

        "name": "נדה",

        "starts_at": 2
    }
]

This can be fixed by setting

blatt = blatt + 33;

to blatt = blatt + 32;

and

hebcal-js/src/dafyomi.js

Lines 71 to 72 in fcf7cbb

[ "Tamid", 0, "תמיד", 10 ],
[ "Midot", "Midos", "מדות", 4 ],

Should be changed to
Tamid to 9 instead of 10

[ "Tamid",          0,                  "תמיד",          9],

And while you are there you can fix Midos to 5 so that Niddah can start on the same date

[ "Midot",          "Midos",            "מדות",          5   ],
