How to find it: Type DateTime in the search box and click on the Object documentation.

Note that the only correct way to make date calculations is with DateUtils:
DateUtils - Simplifies Date and Time Calcuations

The reason is that there are days with 23 hours and days with 25 hours.

What are you attempting to do?

Are we living on the same planet ?

Date and time calculations are surprisingly very difficult. Many countries on planet Earth change their time zone twice a year. It is related to the fact that Earth is orbiting the sun.

DateUtils correctly handles these changes.

Daylight saving?

I think you have just pointed out why Erel was right I had forgotten about daylight saving altering the number of hours in a day!
