I recently came across a task where i have to get all Fridays in a date range. I wrote a small piece of code and was surprised see some strange behaviour.
Below is m
public static List<Date> getWeekNumberList(Date currentMonthDate) {
List<Date> dates = new ArrayList<>(10);
Calendar startCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
startCalendar.setTime(currentMonthDate);
startCalendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,
startCalendar.getActualMinimum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
Calendar endCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
endCalendar.setTime(currentMonthDate);
endCalendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,
endCalendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
Date enddate = endCalendar.getTime();
while (startCalendar.getTime().before(enddate)) {
if (startCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.MONDAY) {
Date result = startCalendar.getTime();
dates.add(result);
startCalendar.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH, 1);
} else {
startCalendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
}
}
return dates;
}
