Find difference in days in Java

To calculate the difference between two dates, we will be using Calendar (java.util.*) public static long daysDifference(Calendar startDate, Calendar endDate) { Calendar date = (Calendar) startDate.clone(); long daysBetween = 0; while (date.before(endDate)) { date.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); daysBetween++; } return daysBetween; } The while loop will be executed until the startDate is less than the endDate.
