Last friday date

Dear users,

I am testing the covariances/corr methods on weekly observations.

Is there an date function to get the easily the last friday date before a given date t?

Thanks in advance.

Simone

Date::nextWeekday(d, Friday) returns the next friday. From that, you
can easily get the last :) Remember to take care of the case in which
the date _is_ a Friday.

Sorry Luigi, is there a function to check that?

Thanks in advance
