Perhaps it's more "usual" if you change the "out"

Maybe it's better to use an additional boolean parameter (named
"negative"?) to indicate that the dates are reversed<br>
and keep the other values all positive.<br>
Otherwise it would be difficult to find out that the dates are
interchanged<br>
because you have to check *all* other integer values as some may be
zero.<br>
