date of Septem- ber 11, 2001. How many days are there between August 31, 2001 and September 11, 2001 using the Actual/Actual day count convention? To answer this question, we simply count the actual number of days between these two dates.3To do this, we utilize Bloombergs DCX (Days Between Dates) function presented in Exhibit 2.2. The function tells us there are 11 actual days between August 31, 2001 and September 11, 2001.4In the same manner, we can also determine the actual number of calendar days in the full coupon period. A full 6-month coupon period can only have 181, 182, 183 or 184 calendar days. For example, the actual number of days between August 31, 2001 and February 28, 2002 is 184.     2Bloomberg identifies 24 different day count conventions. 3This is easy to accomplish using software that can convert a Gregorian date (MM/ DD/YY) into a Julian date (the number of days since some base date). 4Note that the settlement date (September 11) is not counted.
