Count number of Mondays in a given date range

Question

Given a date range, I need to know how many Mondays (or Tuesdays, Wednesdays, etc) are in that range.

I am currently working in C#.

Answer 1

I've come across a slightly easier way to solve this problem using linq.

public static int NumberOfFridays(DateTime start, DateTime end) 
{ 
    return start.GetDaysInBetween(end, inclusive: true).Count(d => d.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Friday); 
} 

Hope that helps.
