To determine the day of the year for a particular day, provide `month`, `day`, and `year` arguments. ```javascript var num = dayOfYear( 12, 31, 2016 ); // returns 366 num = dayOfYear( 12, 31, 2017 ); // returns 365 ``` A `month` may be either a month's integer value, three letter abbreviation, or full name (case insensitive). ```javascript var num = dayOfYear( 12, 31, 2016 ); // returns 366 num = dayOfYear( 'dec', 31, 2016 ); // returns 366 num = dayOfYear( 'december', 31, 2016 ); // returns 366 ``` The function also supports providing a [`Date`][date-object] object. ```javascript var num = dayOfYear( new Date() ); // returns <number> ``` </section> <!-- /.usage --> <section class="examples"> ## Examples <!-- eslint no-undef: "error" --> ```javascript var dayOfYear = require( '@stdlib/time/day-of-year' ); var v; var i; for ( i = 0; i < 2021; i++ ) { v = dayOfYear( 'Dec', 31, i ); console.log( 'In the year %d, December 31 is day number %d.', i, v ); } ``` </section> <!-- /.examples --> * * * <section class="cli"> ## CLI <section class="usage"> ### Usage ```text Usage: day-of-year [options] [<month> <day> <year>] Options: -h, --help Print this message. -V, --version Print the package version. ``` </section> <!-- /.usage --> <section class="examples"> ### Examples ```bash $ day-of-year <number> ``` For a specific date, ```bash $ day-of-year 12 31 2016 366 ``` </section> <!-- /.examples --> </section> <!-- /.cli --> <section class="links"> [date-object]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date </section> <!-- /.links -->
