Question

I want to get the count back of DateTime that where within the correct range with Joda Time.
I have this version at the moment which is only good to check for a specific day:

public int getIntFatalitiesAtDay(DateTime AtDay) {

    int resultCount = 0;

    for( Fatality f : fatalities) {
        if(Days.daysBetween(f.date, AtDay).getDays() == 0) {
                    resultCount++;
        }
    }
    return resultCount;
}

This was usefull when i looped threw every day. However now i go by months with:

for (DateTime iDate = fa.firstDate; iDate.isBefore(fa.lastDate); iDate = iDate.plusMonths(1)) { ... }

And now i would like to get the count of fatalities that month.
Could someone help?

(Also from that year, althought i would like to see a option aswell where it doesn’t look at the year but that’s less important.)

Java’s java.util.Date class has methods for determining if one date is before or after another. If you convert the DateTime objects to Date objects, you can do:

    if (f.date.after(beginngingDate) && f.date.before(endingDate)).
