The conventions of this class calculate the number of days between two dates (e.g., between Date1 and Date2) as the Julian day difference. This is the function Days(StartDate, EndDate). The conventions are distinguished primarily by the amount of the CouponRate they assign to each day of the accrual period.
The number of days between two dates, which is simply the difference in their Julian day numbers. The dates of moveable holidays, like Christian Easter (the calculation is known as Computus) followed up by Ascension Thursday and Pentecost or Advent Sundays, or the Jewish Passover, for a given year. Converting a date between different calendars.

No guidance is provided about conversion of dates before March 5, -500, or after February 29, 2100 (both being Julian dates). For unlisted dates, find the date in the table closest to, but earlier than, the date to be converted. Be sure to use the correct column. If converting from Julian to Gregorian, add the number from the "Difference" column.
The issue spans the changeover; the date heading reads: "From Tuesday September 1, O.S. to Saturday September 16, N.S. 1752".

Algorithm. Subtract the weekday number from the ordinal day of the year. Add 10. Divide by 7, discard the ...
The doomsday's anchor day calculation is effectively calculating the number of days between any given date in the base year and the same date in the current year, then taking the remainder modulo 7. When both dates come after the leap day (if any), the difference is just 365y + y / 4 (rounded down). But 365 equals 52 × 7 + 1, so after ...
