Direct answer

To use date-difference-calculator, start with a small representative input, calculate a result using clearly stated units and assumptions, and inspect the result before relying on it.

Key takeaways

  • Purpose: calculate a result using clearly stated units and assumptions.
  • Check: time zone, leap years, date formats and daylight-saving rules.
  • Limitation: local times can be ambiguous around clock changes.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the output is correct because the operation completed. Instead, inspect time zone, leap years, date formats and daylight-saving rules.
  • Using production or confidential material as the first test. Use two dates spanning a month boundary instead.
  • Ignoring compatibility: local times can be ambiguous around clock changes.
