Inclusive weekday iteration

The calculator visits each UTC calendar day from the earlier endpoint through the later endpoint. Saturdays, Sundays, and entered holiday dates are skipped; reversing the endpoints reverses the sign.

Count dates where weekday ∈ Monday–Friday and date ∉ entered holidays

No. Only holiday dates typed into the optional field are excluded.

Does reversing the dates change the count?

It keeps the weekday distance and returns a negative count to show the reversed direction.
