FAQ: How can I handle dates when writing a Quantexa Score in Scala?

Something Important to Note when using Period.Between

If we have these 2 dates and use Period.between:

val fromDate = LocalDate.parse("2020-01-01")
val toDate = LocalDate.parse("2022-02-15")

Period.between(fromDate, toDate)Copy

Running this will return Period(years = 2, months = 1, days = 14). 

If we then use .getDays this would return "14" and not "776".

If you want to calculate the days between 2 dates the better method is to use the DAYS.between function:

ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(fromDate, toDate)
