Returns the weekdays count between two dates.
Returns the weekday count between two dates.
- Takes startDate and endDate as inputs.
- Executes a while loop if startDate is less than endDate and increments count if startDate does not fall on a weekend.
- Adds one day to startDate in an iteration and the loop exits when startDate becomes equal to endDate.
- Use `Array.from()` to construct an array with `length` equal to the number of days between `startDate` and `endDate`.
- Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` to iterate over the array, checking if each date is a weekday and incrementing `count`.
- Update `startDate` with the next day each loop using `Date.getDate()` and `Date.setDate()` to advance it by one day.
```js
const countWeekDaysBetween = (startDate, endDate) => {
let count = 0;
while (startDate < endDate) {
if (startDate.getDay() !== 0 && startDate.getDay() !== 6) {
count++;
}
startDate = new Date(startDate.setDate(startDate.getDate() + 1));
}
return count;
}
const countWeekDaysBetween = (startDate, endDate) =>
Array
.from({ length: (endDate - startDate) / (1000 * 3600 * 24) })
.reduce(count => {
if (startDate.getDay() % 6 !== 0) count++;
startDate = new Date(startDate.setDate(startDate.getDate() + 1));
return count;
}, 0);
```
```js
countWeekDaysBetween(new Date("Oct 09, 2020"), new Date("Oct 14, 2020")); // 3
countWeekDaysBetween(new Date('Oct 05, 2020'), new Date('Oct 06, 2020')); // 1
countWeekDaysBetween(new Date('Oct 05, 2020'), new Date('Oct 14, 2020')); // 7
```
