days360

Days between dates based on 360-day year

Syntax

NumDays = days360(StartDate, EndDate)

Arguments

`StartDate`	Enter as serial date numbers or date strings.
`EndDate`	Enter as serial date numbers or date strings.

Either input can contain multiple values, but if so, the other must contain the same number of values or a single value that applies to all. For example, if StartDate is an n-row character array of date strings, then EndDate must be an n-by-1 vector of integers or a single integer. NumDays is then an n-by-1 vector of date numbers.

Description

NumDays = days360(StartDate, EndDate) returns the number of days between StartDate and EndDate based on a 360-day year (that is, all months contain 30 days). If EndDate is earlier than StartDate, NumDays is negative.

Examples

NumDays = days360('15-jan-2000', '15-mar-2000')

NumDays =

    60

MoreDays = ['15-mar-2000'; '15-apr-2000'; '15-jun-2000'];

NumDays = days360('15-jan-2000', MoreDays)

NumDays =

    60
    90
   150
