+
+
+
+The QDate class provides date functions.
+<p>
+
+<p> A QDate object contains a calendar date, i.e. year, month, and day
+numbers, in the modern Western (Gregorian) calendar. It can read
+the current date from the system clock. It provides functions for
+comparing dates and for manipulating dates, e.g. by adding a
+number of days or months or years.
+<p> A QDate object is typically created either by giving the year,
+month and day numbers explicitly, or by using the static function
+<a href="#currentDate">currentDate</a>(), which creates a QDate object containing the system
+clock's date. An explicit date can also be set using <a href="#setYMD">setYMD</a>(). The
+<a href="#fromString">fromString</a>() function returns a QDate given a string and a date
+format which is used to interpret the date within the string.
+<p> The <a href="#year">year</a>(), <a href="#month">month</a>(), and <a href="#day">day</a>() functions provide access to the
+year, month, and day numbers. Also, <a href="#dayOfWeek">dayOfWeek</a>() and <a href="#dayOfYear">dayOfYear</a>()
+functions are provided. The same information is provided in
+textual format by the <a href="#toString">toString</a>(), <a href="#shortDayName">shortDayName</a>(), <a href="#longDayName">longDayName</a>(),
+<a href="#shortMonthName">shortMonthName</a>() and <a href="#longMonthName">longMonthName</a>() functions.
+<p> QDate provides a full set of operators to compare two QDate
+objects where smaller means earlier and larger means later.
+<p> You can increment (or decrement) a date by a given number of days
+using <a href="#addDays">addDays</a>(). Similarly you can use <a href="#addMonths">addMonths</a>() and <a href="#addYears">addYears</a>().
+The <a href="#daysTo">daysTo</a>() function returns the number of days between two
+dates.
+<p> The <a href="#daysInMonth">daysInMonth</a>() and <a href="#daysInYear">daysInYear</a>() functions return how many days
+there are in this date's month and year, respectively. The
+<a href="#leapYear">leapYear</a>() function indicates whether this date is in a leap year.
+<p> Note that QDate should not be used for date calculations for dates
+prior to the introduction of the Gregorian calendar. This calendar
+was adopted by England from the 14<sup><small>th</small></sup>
+September 1752 (hence this is the earliest valid QDate), and
+subsequently by most other Western countries, until 1923.
+<p> The end of time is reached around the year 8000, by which time we
+expect Qt to be obsolete.

+<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="toString-2"></a>QDate::toString ( <a href="qt.html#DateFormat-enum">Qt::DateFormat</a>&nbsp;f = Qt::TextDate ) const
+</h3>
+This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
+<p> Returns the date as a string. The <em>f</em> parameter determines the
+format of the string.
+<p> If <em>f</em> is <a href="qt.html#DateFormat-enum">Qt::TextDate</a>, the string format is "Sat May 20 1995"
+(using the <a href="#shortDayName">shortDayName</a>() and <a href="#shortMonthName">shortMonthName</a>() functions to
+generate the string, so the day and month names are locale
+specific).
+<p> If <em>f</em> is <a href="qt.html#DateFormat-enum">Qt::ISODate</a>, the string format corresponds to the
+ISO 8601 specification for representations of dates, which is
+YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY is the year, MM is the month of the year
+(between 01 and 12), and DD is the day of the month between 01 and
+31.
+<p> If <em>f</em> is <a href="qt.html#DateFormat-enum">Qt::LocalDate</a>, the string format depends on the
+locale settings of the system.
+<p> If the date is an invalid date, then <a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a> will be returned.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#shortDayName">shortDayName</a>() and <a href="#shortMonthName">shortMonthName</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="weekNumber"></a>QDate::weekNumber ( int&nbsp;*&nbsp;yearNumber = 0 ) const
+</h3>
+Returns the week number (1 to 53), and stores the year in <em>*yearNumber</em> unless <em>yearNumber</em> is null (the default).
+<p> Returns 0 if the date is invalid.
+<p> In accordance with ISO 8601, weeks start on Monday and the first
+Thursday of a year is always in week 1 of that year. Most years
+have 52 weeks, but some have 53.
+<p> <em>*yearNumber</em> is not always the same as <a href="#year">year</a>(). For example, 1
+January 2000 has week number 52 in the year 1999, and 31 December
+2002 has week number 1 in the year 2003.
