finding # of days in a month

[rich]

is there a method or function to determine the # of days for a given month
and a given year? thanks in advance.

rich,

I don't know your language of choice, but:

Convert your month and year to a form like MM/01/YYYY, then add 1 month,
and get the difference in terms of days.

Example:
Given 10 for month, and 2000 for year, take 10/01/2000, and add one
month, using whatever date mathematics you have available. Next, subtract
the dates from each other to return number of days. This can normally be
reduced to one statement.
