net.finmath.time.daycount.DayCountConvention_ACT_365

All Implemented Interfaces:

DayCountConventionInterface

public class DayCountConvention_ACT_365
extends DayCountConvention_ACT

Implementation of ACT/365. Calculates the day count by calculating the actual number of days between startDate and endDate. The method is only exact, if the two calendar dates are (approximately) on the same time. A fractional day is rounded to the approximately nearest day (since daylight saving is not considered, the notion of nearest may be off by one hour). The day count fraction is calculated using ACT/365 convention, that is, the day count is divided by 365.

• The method getDaycountFraction corresponds to the implementation of the "ACT/365 method" of Excel function YEARFRAC, i.e., YEARFRAC(startDate,endDate,3).
