Detailed Description

Concrete date class.

This class provides methods to inspect dates as well as methods and operators which implement a limited date algebra (increasing and decreasing dates, and calculating their difference).

Tests

self-consistency of dates, serial numbers, days of month, months, and weekdays is checked over the whole date range.

Examples:

BermudanSwaption.cpp, Bonds.cpp, CallableBonds.cpp, CDS.cpp, ConvertibleBonds.cpp, DiscreteHedging.cpp, EquityOption.cpp, FittedBondCurve.cpp, FRA.cpp, Replication.cpp, Repo.cpp, and swapvaluation.cpp.

static Date nextWeekday (const Date & d, Weekday w) [static]

next given weekday following or equal to the given date

E.g., the Friday following Tuesday, January 15th, 2002 was January 18th, 2002.
