The only "missing days" are when one switches from one calendar to another. The Gregorian calendar is proleptic. October 5th follows 4 Oct in EVERY year in the Gregorian calendar (starting in January 1, year 1). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 06:18, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
October 4th in year 1582 was the date in the Julian calender (the day before the switchover in some countries). The next day, the Gregorian calendar was adopted (or put into effect) in various countries, but not everywhere. The new Gregorian

:::I think that means it's Julian before 10/15/1582 and Gregorian thereafter (and you can set the cutover date if you want). Honestly I have no idea what's going on with any of this. I think it's kind of a waste since the calendar change was so long ago. Seems sort of impractical to worry about it now. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 17:57, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
:::: The Gregorian Calendar isn't a hyrid calendar --- which is contrary to (I assume) some Java document --- one should refer to the (I can't believe I'm saying this) Vatican papers about it's description, rules, and implementation). Failing that, one could just check the bureau of weights and measurements, division of measurement standards, or whatever ... for the country you're in. It is proleptic (both in
:::::Ignoring pretty much all of that....do you have a problem with the Java code? What do you want to know about it? I don't want to know anything about the calendar systems yet.

I don't have a dog in that fight (as pertaining to Java code and how it interprets/presents/discombobulates/converts Gregorian and Julian dates). But, as far as I can interpret from the quoted text from the documentation about the Object that the Java code is using, it states that the Gregorian calendar is a hybrid calendar. It isn't. (Could it mean the ''way'' Java treats dates is a hybrid system?) Possibly, the Java code treats dates after a "switchover" (there were many switchovers, depending on the state/country) as Gregorian, and Julian before that.

This subject is, for the most part, pretty much out of my league, and needs a scholar's attention. I ain't that. I hoped I paraphrased and stated accurately some of the differences between Gregorian and Julian calendars (N.S. vs. O.S.).
Most people think that the leap year rule for the Julian
If we don't read and understand history, we're doomed to repeat it's mistakes. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:27, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
