56 days ago from today was 16 Dec 2024, a Monday. As we approach calculations over month in the past, the 28 days in February play significant roles, alongside the day of the week. Since today is Monday, we'll need to account for a full week before hitting weekend days. Counting backwards from today skips several weekends, meaning that subtracting 56 days takes us from the middle of of February to potentially crossing far beyond February or January. For those of us focusing on workdays, subtracting 56 days ago necessitates adjustments for the fiscal calendar (don’t worry, I've accounted for it below).
All of our day calculators are measured and QA'd by our engineer. Read more about the Git process here. But here's how 56 days ago gets calculated on each visit:
56 days is Monday December 16, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 56 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Monday December 16, 2024 date.
