Step 1: Write the code
Step 2: Get a compiler
Step 3: Compile it
There's bucket-loads of reusable code out there for doing this, but I
presume you're some sort of student and you have to do it all by yourself
so that you learn from it.

What problem did you encounter then? I suppose you did
start on it, right?

Top down design is usually preferred but in this case I think it would be OK
to do bottom up. IOW, it isn't really design, it's a Topsy like growth from
the bottom up. You can surely do that for two dates in the same month,
right? Do that. Then consider adjacent months. where neither one of them
is February. Then allow for intervening months in the same year. Then
different years where neither year is a leap year. Then handle leap years
properly. Look in a good dictionary, the leap year rule might have more
rules than you know about.
After completing something like this sequence you will have learned a lot
and you can throw all that code away and write a nice pretty program that
does what you have been asked to do.
If this is not a student exercise, look up Julian day number.

I wouldn't recommend that, it only works for a restricted set of dates. A
baby boomer couldn't figure out how old he was in days.

Greetings all,
Quick newbie type question:
I would like to be able to trap non-numerical data entered into a
textbox via CTRL+C and/or Shift+Insert.
I realise that this data can be validated using the TEXTn_validate
event but I would like to stop the user before it gets that far.

Hello,
I am hoping someone else has thought about a date time calculation i need to
perform.
I would like to be able to calculate the number of "working minutes" between
2 dates, given my working week definition.
Lets say I have a working week definition of Monday through Friday, 9 am to
5 pm.

Hello,
I have been trying to calculate the difference between two date and display the difference in hours and minutes (HH:MM). I can't get it calculate properly and I can't hours and minutes to display.
I tried "results=enddate-startdate" dates have month, day, year,and time of day. After this calculation I end up with no results.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I have searched in the standard distribution if there was a function
to return the difference between 2 dates expressed like an age :
number of years, of months and days. The difference between datetime
instances returns a timedelta object that gives a number of days, but
not an age
So is there such a function somewhere ? If not, for what reason, since
it's a rather usual task

IMHO, the following is not a how-to-do instruction to solve a particular problem but more a concept-proof stuff demonstrating possibilities of SQL.
So, let us say the problem is to calculate business days count which is defined as count of days (optionally inclusive in the current implementation) excluding weekend days and holidays.
Let us say periods to calculate are stored in table associated with contacts.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
