# Challenge name: Number of Days Between Two Dates
|
|
#
|
|
# Write a program to count the number of days between two dates.
|
|
#
|
|
# The two dates are given as strings, their format is YYYY-MM-DD as shown in the examples.
|
|
# Example 1:
|
|
# Input: date1 = "2019-06-29", date2 = "2019-06-30"
|
|
# Output: 1
|
|
#
|
|
# Example 2:
|
|
# Input: date1 = "2020-01-15", date2 = "2019-12-31"
|
|
# Output: 15
|
|
#
|
|
# Constraints: The given dates are valid dates between the years 1971 and 2100.
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
# Approach 1: Using Ruby built-in feature Date.parse
|
|
# Time complexity: O(1)
|
|
# Space complexity: O(1)
|
|
#
|
|

require 'date'
|
|
|
|
def number_of_days(date1, date2)
|
|
beginning_date = Date.parse(date1)
|
|
end_date = Date.parse(date2)
|
|
(end_date - beginning_date).to_i.abs
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
puts number_of_days('2019-06-29', '2019-06-30')
|
|
# => 1
|
|
|
|
puts number_of_days('2020-01-15', '2019-12-31')
|
|
# => 15
