in reply to poll ideas quest 2017

The best way to calculate the end of the current month in a piece of code is:

  • Hardcode the numbers
  • Use a module or function
  • Add a month, and subtract the current day
  • Add a month, truncate the day, and subtract 1
  • Add 1 to the day, test it's legality, and loop until it fails
  • Use a default of 30.4 days (30.4167, 30.4375, or 30.43729167)
  • Use 28 days for every month and ignore any days that come that
  • Issue an update (nearly) every month to fix it for the current month
