Answer 1

If you parse those strings into LocalDate, you can use the following line of code:

ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(firstDate, secondDate)

You can also use this method using between() method:

public long getDaysCountBetweenDates(LocalDate dateBefore, LocalDate dateAfter) {
    return DAYS.between(firstDate, secondDate);
}
