Calculate difference between two dates number of days

I see that this question has been answered for Java  JavaScript  and PHP  but not C   So  how might one calculate the number of days between two dates in C

There often is a debate on time  hours  when it comes to counting days between two dates  The responses to the question and their comments show no exception  If performance is not a concern  I would strongly recommend documenting your calculation through intermediate conversions  For example   EndDate - StartDate  Days is unintuitive because rounding will depend on the hour component of StartDate and EndDate   If you want the duration in days to include fractions of days  then as already suggested use  EndDate - StartDate  TotalDays  If you want the duration to reflect the distance between two days  then use  EndDate Date - StartDate Date  Days If you want the duration to reflect the duration between the morning of the start date  and the evening of the end date  what you typically see in project management software   then use  EndDate Date - StartDate Date  Days   1

First declare a class that will return later   public void date         Datetime startdate      Datetime enddate      Timespan remaindate       startdate   DateTime Parse txtstartdate Text  Date      enddate   DateTime Parse txtenddate Text  Date       remaindate   enddate - startdate       if  remaindate    null                lblmsg Text    you have left with     remaindate TotalDays    days              else               lblmsg Text    correct your code again             protected void btncal Click object sender  EventArgs e        date        Use a button control to call the above class  Here is an example

Using a timespan would solve the problems as it has many attributes   DateTime strt date   DateTime Now  DateTime end date   Convert ToDateTime  10 1 2017 23 59 59      DateTime add days   end date AddDays 1   TimeSpan nod    end date - strt date   Console WriteLine strt date        end date             nod TotalHours        Console ReadKey

Use TimeSpan object which is the result of date substraction   DateTime d1  DateTime d2  return  d1 - d2  TotalDays

For beginners like me that will stumble upon this tiny problem  in a simple line  with sample conversion to int   int totalDays   Convert ToInt32  DateTime UtcNow Date - myDateTime Date  TotalDays     This calculates the total days from today  DateTime UtcNow Date  to a desired date  myDateTime Date    If myDateTime is yesterday  or older date than today  this will give a positive     integer result   On the other side  if the myDateTime is tomorrow or on the future date  this will give a negative  -  integer result due to rules of addition   Happy coding

You can try this  EndDate Date Subtract DateTime Now Date  Days

User · Answer

The top answer is correct  however if you would like only WHOLE days as an int and are happy to forgo the time component of the date then consider    EndDate Date - StartDate Date  Days   Again assuming StartDate and EndDate are of type DateTime
