Date Calculation Methods
Date calculations account for varying month lengths, leap years, and calendar complexities.
Adding Days
Simply add the number of days to the start date.
Example:

Example:
Input: Start: January 31, 2024, Add: 1 month
Calculation: January 31 + 1 month
Result: February 29, 2024 (leap year) or February 28 (non-leap year)
Adding Years
Add years, accounting for leap years.
Example:
Input: Start: February 29, 2024, Add: 1 year
Calculation: February 29 + 1 year
Result: February 28, 2025 (or March 1 if leap year handling)

- Use weeks or days for more precise calculations when possible.
- Double-check calculations for critical deadlines.
- Consider business days vs. calendar days for work-related calculations.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
