Difference Between the Two Dates
As a pega developer, I want to create a function that calculates the difference between two dates in years, months, and days so that I can display the result in the user interface.
Acceptance criteria:
- The function takes two parameters: the start date and the end date, which are valid date values.
- The function returns a string that shows the difference between the two dates in the format of “X years, Y months, Z days.”.
- The function handles edge cases such as leap years, invalid dates, or negative differences.
- The function is tested with various input values and expected outputs.

java.time.LocalDate sDate = java.time.LocalDate.parse(startDate, java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd"));
java.time.LocalDate eDate = java.time.LocalDate.parse(endDate, java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd"));
java.time.Period period = java.time.Period.between(sDate, eDate);
int years = period.getYears();
int months = period.getMonths();
int days = period.getDays();
String YearsString = (years > 1) ? "years" : "year";
String monthsString = (months > 1) ? "months" : "month";
String daysString = (days > 1) ? "days" : "day";
return years + " " + YearsString + ", " + months + " " + monthsString + ", and " + days + " " + daysString + ".";

Function Code for the above requirement is
1. Create Library Rule
2. Create Function with given Code
java.text.SimpleDateFormat format = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
Date d1 = null;
Date d2 = null;
String difference = "";
try {
java.time.LocalDate sDate = java.time.LocalDate.parse(startDate,java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyyMMdd"));
java.time.LocalDate eDate = java.time.LocalDate.parse(endDate,java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyyMMdd"));
java.time.Period period = java.time.Period.between(sDate,eDate);
int years = period.getYears();
int months = period.getMonths();
int days = period.getDays();
return + years + " years, " + months + " months, and " + days + " days.";
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return difference;
