Questions fréquentes
How does the calculator handle month boundaries?
It automatically adjusts for varying month lengths and leap years. Adding 30 days to Jan 1 correctly lands on Jan 31.
Can I subtract dates to go backward in time?
Yes, use a negative number. Subtracting 10 days from Mar 15 = Mar 5. The calculator respects month/year boundaries.
What about leap seconds or daylight saving?
Calendar calculations ignore leap seconds and DST. They operate on calendar dates, not absolute time.
