1. What Is This Calculator?

This calculator helps you determine what time it will be after adding a specific number of hours to a starting day and time. For example, it can calculate that 72 hours from Monday 10am is Thursday 10am.

2. How Does It Work?

The calculator uses simple time arithmetic:

\[ \text{New Day} = (\text{Start Day Index} + \lfloor \text{Hours}/24 \rfloor) \mod 7 \] \[ \text{New Time} = \text{Start Time} + (\text{Hours} \mod 24) \]

Where:

Days are indexed from 0 (Monday) to 6 (Sunday)
Time is calculated in 24-hour format
If time addition exceeds 24 hours, it rolls over to the next day
