Let's say I have a method with signature in a language like Java as below:
  gregorianDayToJulianDay(year, month, day)
What could be a proper naming for this method in Smalltalk?  I'm a bit
confused as I'm so used to the concept of methods being "verbs" which
accept some arguments.
I'd appreciate any help/idea.
After reading Sven's reply, I came up with this design.  Is it the
idiomatic way to handle this problem in Smalltalk:

<pseudo-design>
class JulianConverter:
    instance variable: 'day'
   
    #toGregorian
    #toIranian
   
class GregorianConverter:
    instance variable: 'year month day'
   
    #toJulian
   
class IranianConverter:
    instance variable: 'year month day'
   
    #toJulian

</pseudo-design>
