Issues with Inconsistent Strike Timing on Clock Tower Project

[LarryD]

@kenmic

  return (month > 4 && month < 10) || 
         (month == 4 && day >= 1) || 
         (month == 10 && day <= 31);

• Explain what you think is happening here ?

Edit

Explain this too:

if (hour >= startHour && hour < endHour && minute == 30 && second == 0 || halfHourStrike)
