I simply combine (month, day) pair into a single number - the same way you combine two digits of a decimal number by multiplying the first by 10 and adding the second. The multiplier doesn't have to be 100 - any number greater than 31 will do. Now that I have a flat numbering for calendar dates, I can do a check like this: date - startDate < endDate - startDate There is a slight complication with the case where endDate < startDate, where you want to wrap around to next year. For that, I simply need to perform calculations modulo a large number - any number greater than the representation of 12/31 in my scheme. 1300 is one such number.
