Currently, I am tackling a date comparison task for our application. The main objective is to compare the Start Date inputted by the user with the Operator/Region Effective Date, which signifies when a new list of product prices becomes valid. Our aim is to determine if there is an Effective Date set 7 days in advance of the Start Date. If this condition is met, we need to notify the user that price changes are imminent.
I believe the most efficient approach would be to add 7 days to the Start Date and then verify if it falls within the range of the Effective Date. However, I am encountering difficulties in adding 7 days to the Start Date as all my attempts have resulted in an "Invalid Date" error message. Any suggestions on how to address this issue?
