number of the days (-) days gone past

[sh4rif]

Hello Folks

On my form I want to display the number of day.. i.e.
Jan 1 is day 1
jan 2 is day 2
Feb 1 is day 32 and december 31 is day 365 or 366 depending on leap year or not

i have used all kind of techniques such as date1 - date2 etc...
but nothing seems to work for me cant get the logic right may be.. what i want is count and add the number of the months that has gone past plus the number days of the running month i. 22nd may 2012 is day number (31(jan)+29(feb)+31(mar)+30(apr)+22(currentdate)) = 145 and they will keep adding plus one every time a day go past... thanks

Read the API for java.util.Calendar

Or if this is homework and you have to reinvent the wheel, post your best efforts and indicate where exactly you still have a problem.

So what code have you got so far, since you say you have "used all kind of techniques"?

its not a homework its real work which i am doin free for someone....

//constructor
public DateDifference() {
		Calendar cal1 = new GregorianCalendar();
		 Calendar cal2 = new GregorianCalendar();

		 cal1.getTime();
		 //System.out.println(cal1);
		 cal2.set(2012, 01, 01);
		 //System.out.println(cal2);
		 //daysBetween(cal1.getTime(), cal2.getTime());
		 System.out.println("Days= "+ this.daysBetween(cal1.getTime(),cal2.getTime()));
	}

public int daysBetween(java.util.Date date, java.util.Date date2){
		 return (int)( (date2.getTime() - date.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
}

there are few more which doesnt make sence but i cant manage to get the logic right...

thanks
