if 78 days from today is 11 Jul 2024, a Thursday. Calculating over the equivalent days of a month means multiple weeks, multiple weekends and officially crossing into May from the middle of April. Since today is Wendesday, we'll actually need to start considering the weekend. Two days from now the weekend begins and it could throw off our calculation if we consider work days. Key difference with adding days that span a full month is that shorter calculations might only require counting days and possibly adjusting for a single weekend. Adding 78 days across April requires us to account for multiple weekends, work schedules, and the specific nuances of being in the middle of April jumping to May.
All of our day calculators are measured and QA'd by our engineer. Read more about the Git process here. But here's how adding 78 days to today's date gets calculated on each visit:
Thursday Thursday July 11, 2024 is the 193 day of the year or 52.88% through 2024.
78 days is Thursday July 11, 2024 or could be Saturday August 10, 2024 if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 78 days and only adds by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Thursday July 11, 2024 date.
