The date command can also answer this question: $ date -d 'march 12 2019 + 366 days' Thu Mar 12 00:00:00 PDT 2020

  pure gold buddy, thanks for this

  I starting thinking about the Python equivalent of this and it was disgusting.
  • michael_j_ward 7y ago
    This? $ python -c 'import datetime; print(datetime.date(2019, 3, 12) + datetime.timedelta(days=366))' 2020-03-12
    • tus88 7y ago
      Yes.
      • labster 7y ago
        Raku is a lot prettier than Python: perl6 -e 'say Date.new("2019-03-12").later( :366days )' 2020-03-12 perl6 -e 'say Date.new("2019-03-12") + 366' 2020-03-12

          Probably because I have a finance background, I would go straight to Excel.

            Which makes dates out of things that are not even dates! (Like gene names)
        • lizmat 7y ago
          Which recently became even shorter: raku -e 'say "2019-03-12".Date + 366' 2020-03-12
    • teekert 7y ago
      Beautiful.

    Ruby isn't much better ruby -e "require 'date'; puts (Date.parse('march 12 2019') + 366)" 2020-03-12

  For GNU date, yes. BSD not so much (default on MacOS). MacOS$ date -d 'now + 30 days' usage: date [-jnRu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t west] [-v[+|-]val[ymwdHMS]] ... [-f fmt date | [[[mm]dd]HH]MM[[cc]yy][.ss]] [+format]GNU$ date -d 'now +30 days' GNU$ date -u -d 'now +30 days' Sun Apr 5 18:55:12 UTC 2020 (In BSD date, the '-d' argument "Set the kernel's value for daylight saving time.")

  assuming you're on Unix
  • ferzul 7y ago
    you could be running gnu/linux or windows with msys, neither of which are unix

  If you are on Windows, (or if you are on Linux but for some reason still runs) in PowerShell: > (Get-Date).AddDays(365)
• ringshall 7y ago
  Or excel, rc[-1]+366, assuming you typed in the date you want in the cell to the left...
