java get weeks between 2 dates with weeks crossing 2 months-CodePudding

I would like to get all the weeks between 2 dates with weeks that cross 2 months counted twice for each month. For example, in 2021 week 14 of the year hosted both March and April so in this case, I would like that week counted twice (once for March and once for April). I've looked and found just libraries that count the number of weeks between 2 dates. I think I could get week numbers and month numbers and form a unique array but this seems a bit over the top. Has anyone got any suggestions?

weeks that cross 2 months counted twice

The code below allows to do that by utilizing only the standard LocalDate class and it's methods isBefore(), plusWeeks(), plusDays().

Keep in mind the days of the week and months are represented by enums from the java.time package.

I've made a couple of assumptions:

week starts with Sunday;
chunks of the week at the start and at the end of the given period have to be taken into account as well as full-length weeks.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(getWeekCount(LocalDate.of(2022, 1, 1),
                                        LocalDate.of(2022, 2, 1)));

        System.out.println(getWeekCount(LocalDate.of(2022, 1, 1),
                                        LocalDate.of(2022, 3, 1)));
    }

    public static int getWeekCount(LocalDate date1, LocalDate date2) {
        int weekCount = 0;
        LocalDate cur = date1;
        LocalDate finish = date2;
        // assumption: week starts with sunday
        // assumption: chunk of week at the start and at the end have to be taken into account as well as full weeks
        if (cur.getDayOfWeek() != DayOfWeek.SUNDAY) { // adjusting current date
            LocalDate next = cur.plusDays(DayOfWeek.SUNDAY.ordinal() - cur.getDayOfWeek().ordinal()   1);
            weekCount  = getWeeksIncrement(cur, next);
            cur = next;
        }
        if (finish.getDayOfWeek() != DayOfWeek.SUNDAY) { // adjusting finish date
            LocalDate previous = finish.minusDays(finish.getDayOfWeek().ordinal()   1);
            weekCount  = getWeeksIncrement(previous, finish);
            finish = previous;
        }
        while (cur.isBefore(finish) || cur.equals(finish)) {
            LocalDate next = cur.plusWeeks(1);
            weekCount  = getWeeksIncrement(cur, next);
            cur = next;
        }
        return weekCount;
    }

    public static int getWeeksIncrement(LocalDate cur, LocalDate next) {
        return weekIsSharedBetweenTwoMonth(cur, next) ? 2 : 1;
    }

    public static boolean weekIsSharedBetweenTwoMonth(LocalDate cur, LocalDate next) {
        return next.getMonth() != cur.getMonth() &&
                next.withDayOfMonth(1).isAfter(cur);
    }

Output

7   -  weeks between: 2022-01-01 and 2022-02-01
12  -  weeks between: 2022-01-01 and 2022-03-01

You can get the weeknumber like this using java.time:

LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(year, month, day);
int weekOfYear = date.get(ChronoField.ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_YEAR);

You did not mention which java version you are using. java.time was introduced in java 8. There are other solutions available for pre-java 8.

Based on the above, you should be able to solve your problem.
