| Name| Description
| xref:BloombergLP/bbldc/BasicDayCountUtil/daysDiff.adoc[`daysDiff`] 
| Return the (signed) number of days between the specified `beginDate` and `endDate` according to the specified day‐count `convention`. The behavior is undefined unless `isSupported(convention)`. If `beginDate <= endDate` then the result is non‐negative. Note that reversing the order of `beginDate` and `endDate` negates the result.
| xref:BloombergLP/bbldc/BasicDayCountUtil/isSupported.adoc[`isSupported`] 
| Return `true` if the specified `convention` is valid for use in `daysDiff` and `yearsDiff`, and `false` otherwise.
| xref:BloombergLP/bbldc/BasicDayCountUtil/yearsDiff.adoc[`yearsDiff`] 
| Return the (signed fractional) number of years between the specified `beginDate` and `endDate` according to the specified day‐count `convention`. If `beginDate <= endDate` then the result is non‐negative. The behavior is undefined unless `isSupported(convention)`. Note that reversing the order of `beginDate` and `endDate` negates the result; specifically, `|yearsDiff(b, e, c) + yearsDiff(e, b, c)| <= 1.0e‐15` for all dates `b` and `e`, and day‐count conventions `c`.
