Enter "number of days in a year" into Google and you'll get some useful
results.

The very first hit gives you

Google is your friend.

Just check if the year is leap. In google u'll find something like:

int __isleap <javascript:searchRef('__isleap')>(int
year<javascript:searchRef('year')>)
{
/* every fourth year is a leap year except for century years that are
* not divisible by 400. */
/* return (year % 4 =3D=3D 0 && (year % 100 !=3D 0 || year % 400 =3D=3D 0)=
); */
return (!(year <javascript:searchRef('year')>%4) &&
((year<javascript:searchRef('year')>%100)
|| !(year <javascript:searchRef('year')>%400)));
}

You can use the date library...

require 'date'; puts Date.new(2005) - Date.new(2004)
=3D> 366

So there's nothing like this (Rails)

Time.days_in_month()

A stupid question in the first place. I've done like this; I check if
Feb in a particular year has 29 days or not, so it gives 365 or 366
days. Simple. :-)

And notice how days_in_month is implemented in activesupport:

def days_in_month(month, year = now.year)
return 29 if month == 2 && ::Date.gregorian_leap?(year)
COMMON_YEAR_DAYS_IN_MONTH[month]
end

So all you need is:

irb(main):001:0> require 'date'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Date.gregorian_leap?(2008) ? 366 : 365
=> 366
irb(main):003:0> Date.gregorian_leap?(2009) ? 366 : 365
=> 365

Or ask the day of year of December 31st:

require 'date'
DateTime.new(2008, 12, 31).yday # => 366
DateTime.new(2009, 12, 31).yday # => 366
