The DaysInYear( year ) command computes the number of days in the year year. The number of days is either 365 for an ordinary year or 366 in a leap year. There is also an exception for the year 1582, the year of calendar reform, which is missing 10 days.

Leap years prior to $1582$ occur every four years. After $1582$, the modern leap year rules are used.

Leap years prior to the year 5 were observed inconsistently, and may be historically incorrect.
