Checking to see if a day/hour/whatever has passed

Rails
1

I want to check if an hour has passed since the current time. When I
run
return (DateTime.now > (@session[‘user’].account_info.last_reward +
0.04))

it returns the correct value I think, but when I put that same thing
(without the return) in an if statement, it tells me it can’t compare
a datetime and a time. Not sure how to compare them then…

You have to convert one to the other’s same class.

DateTime.now.class
=> DateTime

What does this say?

(@session[‘user’].account_info.last_reward + 0.04).class
