Detailed Description

calendar class

This class provides methods for determining whether a date is a business day or a holiday for a given market, and for incrementing/decrementing a date of a given number of business days.

The Bridge pattern is used to provide the base behavior of the calendar, namely, to determine whether a date is a business day.

A calendar should be defined for specific exchange holiday schedule or for general country holiday schedule. Legacy city holiday schedule calendars will be moved to the exchange/country convention.

Tests:
the methods for adding and removing holidays are tested by inspecting the calendar before and after their invocation.
Examples:

BermudanSwaption.cpp, Bonds.cpp, CallableBonds.cpp, CDS.cpp, ConvertibleBonds.cpp, DiscreteHedging.cpp, EquityOption.cpp, FittedBondCurve.cpp, FRA.cpp, Repo.cpp, and swapvaluation.cpp.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Calendar (  ) 

The default constructor returns a calendar with a null implementation, which is therefore unusable except as a placeholder.


Member Function Documentation

std::string name (  )  const

Returns the name of the calendar.

Warning:
This method is used for output and comparison between calendars. It is not meant to be used for writing switch-on-type code.

bool isBusinessDay ( const Date d  )  const

Returns true iff the date is a business day for the given market.

bool isHoliday ( const Date d  )  const

Returns true iff the date is a holiday for the given market.

bool isWeekend ( Weekday  w  )  const

Returns true iff the weekday is part of the weekend for the given market.

bool isEndOfMonth ( const Date d  )  const

Returns true iff the date is last business day for the month in given market.

void addHoliday ( const Date  ) 

Adds a date to the set of holidays for the given calendar.

void removeHoliday ( const Date  ) 

Removes a date from the set of holidays for the given calendar.

Date adjust ( const Date ,
BusinessDayConvention  convention = Following 
) const

Adjusts a non-business day to the appropriate near business day with respect to the given convention.

Examples:
Bonds.cpp, CDS.cpp, ConvertibleBonds.cpp, FittedBondCurve.cpp, and swapvaluation.cpp.

Date advance ( const Date ,
Integer  n,
TimeUnit  unit,
BusinessDayConvention  convention = Following,
bool  endOfMonth = false 
) const

Advances the given date of the given number of business days and returns the result.

Note:
The input date is not modified.
Examples:
BermudanSwaption.cpp, Bonds.cpp, CallableBonds.cpp, ConvertibleBonds.cpp, FittedBondCurve.cpp, FRA.cpp, and swapvaluation.cpp.

Date advance ( const Date date,
const Period period,
BusinessDayConvention  convention = Following,
bool  endOfMonth = false 
) const

Advances the given date as specified by the given period and returns the result.

Note:
The input date is not modified.

BigInteger businessDaysBetween ( const Date from,
const Date to,
bool  includeFirst = true,
bool  includeLast = false 
) const

Calculates the number of business days between two given dates and returns the result.
