Fixes ISSUE #29
ISSUE WITH EARLIER CODE
The earlier code only had a provision for timezones with positive offsets and with 0 minutes offset (offset was a positive integral multiple of one hour). It would report the wrong time for zones with negative offsets by adding instead of subtracting them and also misreport time for zones whose minutes offset isn't zero (India for example)
COMMIT TO FIX
This commit creates the capability to read the sign of the offset and adds or subtracts the offset from UTC time accordingly. Also, it reads the offset in minutes and adds that along with hours to the UCT time to show the correct time for zones like India which have an offset of 5 hours 30 minutes
TEST
This commit has been tested for various time zones to ensure it doesn't fail in any and all tests have been successful.
THANK YOU
