Is there a way to calculate the length between...say...December 31st, 1999 and June 21nd, 2005? Like, a formula? Or a method?

Yeah... No problem. But do these kinda problems come on the calculator test? I have seen them in NS but not in the others as far as i know...

Actually... the year 2000 does not have a leap year. This is because leap years happen on years divisible by 4, but not by 100. Im too lazy to count again, but if Muralils otherwise right then the answer is actually 1999 days.

The answer is not 2000 days, it is 1999.
Proof? WolframAlpha
You can never deny its amazing powers....
And besides, it's never wrong before...

gives reasons for both [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] and [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] days...
It depends on whether or not you include the end date as one day.
