DaysInYear - Maple Help

Calendar

 DaysInYear
 compute the number of days in a given year

 Calling Sequence DaysInYear( year )

Parameters

 year - integer; the year whose length in days is to be computed

Description

 • The DaysInYear( year ) command computes the number of days in the year year. The number of days is either 365 for an ordinary year or 366 in a leap year. There is also an exception for the year 1582, the year of calendar reform, which is missing 10 days.
 • Leap years prior to $1582$ occur every four years.  After $1582$, the modern leap year rules are used.
 • Leap years prior to the year 5 were observed inconsistently, and may be historically incorrect.
