Prime Dates
Problem Statement :
In this challenge, the task is to debug the existing code to successfully execute all provided test files. Given two dates each in the format dd-mm-yyyy, you have to find the number of lucky dates between them (inclusive). To see if a date is lucky, Firstly, sequentially concatinate the date, month and year, into a new integer erasing the leading zeroes. Now if x is divisible by either 4 or 7, then we call the date a lucky date. For example, let's take the date "02-08-2024". After concatinating the day, month and year, we get x = 2082024. As x is divisible by 4 so the date "02-08-2024" is called a lucky date. Debug the given function findPrimeDates and/or other lines of code, to find the correct lucky dates from the given input. Note: You can modify at most five lines in the given code and you cannot add or remove lines to the code. To restore the original code, click on the icon to the right of the language selector. Input Format Input Format The only line of the input contains two strings u and v denoting the two dates following the format dd-mm-yyyy. Consider, d is the day number, m is the month number and y is the year number. Note: Here m = 01 means January, m = 02 means February, m = 03 means March and so on and all the dates follow the standard structure of English calender including the leap year. Constraints 1 <= d1, d2 <= 31 1 <= m1, m2 <= 12 1000 <= y1, y2 <= 9999 Output Format For each test cases, print a single integer the number of lucky dates between u and v in a single line.
