| Nov 21, 2016 at 13:15 | comment | added | Gareth | @AndriyM Yes, that's essentially what I want to do. I suppose by best I mean the least hacky way of doing it. Having read your simpler way of expressing it, it's occurred to me that what I need to do is take the day and month of date S and append the year of date C - if this new date is before date C return it, otherwise return the day and month of date S with the year of date C - 1. | |
| Nov 21, 2016 at 12:25 | comment | added | Andriy M | In other words, given dates S and C, you want to subtract one year from date S iteratively until it falls before date C (unless it's already before date C), correct? On a different note, what do you mean by "best" in "what would be the best way…"? | |
