Hi Gareth,

In your DateUtils.dateDiff(”date”, startDate, endDate) method, it returns -1 if startDate has a time component > endDate’s time component. It should return 0 if startDate is greater by < 24 hrs.

Actually, there is a standard for this which I did not know about. After doing a little more research, I will be updating this to use the standard (which appears to be documented very well here). Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll make an blog update when I've made the changes.

Just downloaded your sources, which sadly don’t work for me. Your implementation for weekOfYear is too simplistic. You can’t just divide the day of the year by 7 and return that as the week.

A proper implementation would use something like a ‘minimal-days-in-first-week’ value (which is four in Germany) to figure out when the first week of the year starts, and when the last week ends.

For example, the 29-Dec-2008 is in week 01/2009, and the 29-Dec-2009 is in week 53/2009. Note the year difference in the first example.

Cheers
Tom

Thanks. I’m also OCD and it was driving me nuts.

Comment on A Little Background by Gareth

Thank you for your comments and for reading the blog. It’s definitely difficult to respond to your post when you don’t leave a valid e-mail address or name though. Any comments that are posted come through to my e-mail address, so I do get notification that you have posted something. I will certainly consider adding a “contact me” section to allow people to send me e-mail through regular methods though.

I created this blog as a means for people to get assistance with problems they may have, and for helping me to remember instances where I was having difficulties, and did not (and really still do not) see a huge reason for posting my resume online. I’m hoping that the code I post is helpful to others and perhaps, if I did need to search for a job, would be helpful in allowing employers to determine my skill level rather than relying solely on a resume. My name (Gareth Arch) is added to each comment I post.

Once again, thanks for reading, and feel free to add your e-mail address next time…I won’t spam you I promise

Are you leaving your resume and your name off these pages on purpose? I like reading your blog but it’s kind of a bummer when you don’t know the persons name.
