  Hey - this challenge really took me to task, it was fun to read-thru your completely different approach. I might have spotted the issue that's throwing your result off by a day.

  In this checkIfLeapYear(); function, it looks like you're checking if next year (2024) is a leap year, rather than the year after the inputted birthdate. And since next year happens to be a leap year, you might be subtracting an extra day when this function runs.

  if (checkIfLeapYear(d2Year + 1) && sDays + eDays >= 366) {
  remDays = sDays + eDays - 366;
  d2Year++;
  } else if (!checkIfLeapYear(d2Year + 1) && sDays + eDays >= 365) {
  remDays = sDays + eDays - 365;
  d2Year++;
  } else {
  remDays = sDays + eDays;
  }
  

  Hope this helps! - E

  @elyyyse Great spot! It seems to be accurate and explains why it was working fine for some years and not others.
