Abstract

   CSPICE_B1950 returns the value of the Julian Date corresponding
   to Besselian Date 1950.0: 2433282.42345905.

I/O

   The call:

      [b1950] = cspice_b1950

   returns:

      b1950    the value 2433282.42345905, the Julian Date corresponding to
               Besselian Date 1950.0.

               [1,1] = size(b1950); double = class(b1950)

Parameters

   None.

Examples

   Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
   platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
   and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Display the double precision value for the Julian Date
      corresponding to the Besselian date 1950.0.

      Example code begins here.


      function b1950_ex1()
         %
         % Display the B1950 date in 16.8 format
         %
         fprintf( 'B1950 date: %16.8f\n', cspice_b1950)


      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/Octave6.x/64-bit
      platform, the output was:


      B1950 date: 2433282.42345905

Particulars

   The function always returns the constant value shown above.

Exceptions

   Error free.

Files

   None.

Restrictions

   None.
