Write a C program to compute the difference between two dates.In this C Program, We check the date is valid or not and then calculating the No. of days of first date and second date from Jan 1 of first date, then subtract the smaller date from another. Read more about C Programming Language .

One comment on “C Program to compute the difference between two dates.”
You are not taken the leap year extra day count in your dater() function.
If u see clearly: If let say year (which is not the reference one…means greater one is a leap year)
Try your code for dates: 16/05/2004 and 25/08/2012
Also rather than using condition "i%4" use a proper Isleapyear check,
For eg:
int Isleap(int year) {
if(((year % 4) == 0 && (year % 100) != 0) || (year % 400 == 0)) {
return 1;
}
else {
return 0;
}
}
