How to get a time object from a date object?

Ruby
1

lo there all, i have a date object, and i need to make a time object
from
it.
i tried the to_i, ( what i really need are the seconds ) but it failed.
I am
sure that there is an easy way to do this, i just can’t seem to find it.

thanks

Time.local(date.year, date.month, date.day)

class DateTime
def to_time
Time.local( year, month, day, hour, min, sec )
end
end

puts (DateTime.now - 14).to_time
