Hi Shubham,

To find no. of days betweeen two dates use this code:

public class Datedifference {
public static Integer datemethod(Date d1,Date d2)
{
Date startDate = Date.newInstance(2008, 1, 1);
Date dueDate = Date.newInstance(2008, 1, 30);
Integer numberDaysDue = startDate.daysBetween(dueDate);
System.debug('date differnce'+numberDaysDue);   
return numberDaysDue;    
    
}
}


To find days between two dates excluding  Saturday and Sunday do follow the code below:

private static final List<Boolean> isWorkingDay;

 private static final Integer workingDaysInWeek;
  static {

    isWorkingDay = new List<Boolean> { true, true, true, true, true, false, false };

    workingDaysInWeek = 5;
      }

  private static final Date monday = Date.newInstance(1900, 1, 3);
    private static Integer getDayOfWeek(Date value) {
     return Math.mod(monday.daysBetween(value), 7);
  }

public static Integer getWorkingDays(Date startDate, Date endDate) {
    //save some calculations when the number of working days is 0
    if(workingDaysInWeek == 0 || startDate == null || endDate == null) {
        return 0;
    } else {
        Integer difference = startDate.daysBetween(endDate);
        if(difference == 0) {
            //If the 2 dates are the same day check if the day is a working day or not
            return isWorkingDay[getDayOfWeek(startDate)] ? 1 : 0;
        } else if(workingDaysInWeek == 7) {
            //when every day is a working day return the difference
            return difference;
        } else {
    
            Integer wholeWeeks = Math.floor(difference / 7).intValue();
            Integer workingDays = wholeWeeks * workingDaysInWeek;
            Integer dayOfWeek = getDayOfWeek(endDate);
            for(Integer remainder = Math.mod(difference, 7); remainder >= 0; remainder--) {
                if(isWorkingDay[dayOfWeek]) {
                    workingDays++;
                }
                dayOfWeek--;
                if(dayOfWeek < 0) {
                    dayOfWeek = 6;
                }
            }
            return workingDays;
        }
    }
}
