Detailed Description

day counter class

This class provides methods for determining the length of a time period according to given market convention, both as a number of days and as a year fraction.

The Bridge pattern is used to provide the base behavior of the day counter.

Examples:

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

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DayCounter (const boost::shared_ptr< Impl > & impl) [protected]

This constructor can be invoked by derived classes which define a given implementation.

DayCounter ()

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

Member Function Documentation

std::string name () const

Returns the name of the day counter.

Warning

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

Friends And Related Function Documentation

bool operator== (const DayCounter &, const DayCounter &) [related]

Returns true iff the two day counters belong to the same derived class.

bool operator!= (const DayCounter &, const DayCounter &) [related]
