Number of Days Between Dates

To calculate the number of days between two given dates:
1. Key in the earlier date and press \.
2. Key in the later date and press gÒ.
The answer shown in the display is the actual number of days between the two
dates, including leap days (the extra days occurring in leap years), if any. In
addition, the hp 12c also calculates the number of days between the two dates on
the basis of a 30-day month. This answer is held inside the calculator; to display it,
press ~. Pressing ~ again will return the original answer to the display.
Example: Simple interest calculations can be done using either the actual number
of days or the number of days counted on the basis of a 30-day month. What
would be the number of days counted each way, to be used in calculating the
simple interest accruing from June 3, 2004 to October 14, 2005 ? Assume that
you normally express dates in the month-day-year format.
