Manual Methods To Calculate The Date 1 Day Before Today
Method 1: Direct Subtraction
- Write down today’s date.
- Since you want to find the date 1 day before today, subtract 1 from the day number.
For example, if today’s date is June 28, 2024, subtracting 1 from the day gives you 27.
Method 2: Calendar Approach
- Locate today’s date on a physical calendar or a mental image of a calendar.
- Move back one day from today’s date. The date you land on is 1 day before today.
What To Consider For Manual Calculations
- These methods assume you only need to find the date, not the time (hours, minutes, seconds).
- Leap years can add complexity if you’re calculating dates far in the past or future. For a simple one-day difference, this shouldn’t be an issue.
