Method Detail

daysUntil

public static int daysUntil(Date d)

computes the number of whole days until the date supplied. This is not very accurate right now, and should only be used for'near enough' calculations.

The actual code used is as follows: see if you can improve on it.

    Math.ceil((d.getTime() - (new Date()).getTime())/DAY_MULTIPLIER);
 

Parameters:

d - The date.

Returns:

a whole number of days from now until the date supplied.
