Inclusive Date Range check in Joda Time

Question

I am using Joda Time 2.1 library.

I have written a method to compare if a given date is between a date range of not. I want it to be inclusive to the start date and end

Answer 1

Yes, isAfter is exclusive, otherwise it should probably have been named isEqualOrAfter or something similar.

Solution: Use "not before" instead of "after", and "not after" instead of "before".

boolean isBetweenInclusive(LocalDate start, LocalDate end, LocalDate target) {
    return !target.isBefore(start) && !target.isAfter(end);
}
