Hello @sivamuruganandam-coder

Can you please explain what happens if the given date is not in the schedule?

Hi @ravichandra1998g
Yeah sure..

If the date doesn't falls within the schedule, then the 'Continue' statement inside else will be executed. So, it'll again go to While Loop condition, then we'll be adding one more day to the existing date..

[ravichandra1998g]

Hey @sivamuruganandam-coder
Yes..
But what if the date never matches (with the addition of days), wouldn't that make the script run in a loop?

Can you please modify the script to prevent that...

Please review the comments and update accordingly.
