Usage
calculate_360_day_difference(date1, date2)
Arguments
- date1
The start date as a character string or Date object.
- date2

Examples
# Example 1: Using character strings
calculate_360_day_difference("2023-01-01", "2023-12-31")
#> [1] 360
# Example 2: Using Date objects
start_date <- as.Date("2023-01-01")
end_date <- as.Date("2024-01-01")
calculate_360_day_difference(start_date, end_date)
