Java is an object-oriented programming language developed initially by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems. The language, initially called Oak (named after the oak trees outside Gosling's office), was intended to replace C++, although the feature set better resembles that of Objective C. Java should not be confused with JavaScript, which shares only the name and a similar C-like syntax. Sun Microsystems currently maintains and updates Java regularly.

Date d1, d2; // Based on "Date{}".
int dayDifference = (d1.getTime()/24*3600*1000 ? d2.getTime()/24*3600*1000);

Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance(); // Based on "Calendar{}".
c1.setTime(d1);
Calendar c2 = Calendar.getInstance();
c2.setTime(d2);
int dayDifference =
c1.getTimeInMillis()/24*3600*1000 ? c2.getTimeInMillis()/24*3600*1000;

;JOOP!
