This day is the official professional holiday in Russia since 2009 and was widely unofficially celebrated among Russian-speaking programmers earlier, and I home programmers from other countries will join the celebration :)

its actually the 255th day since the first day is the 0th day. :)
you used to be able to fit a game on a disk, then you used to be able to fit a game on a cd, then you used to be able to fit a game on a dvd, now you can barely fit one on your harddrive.

the first index in an array is 0.

Obviously you never had contact to FORTRAN :)
Anyway, a byte has 256 possible states, not 255. So 1st day is 01-01, 0x00, therefore 09-13 is 0xFF and indeed the 256th day (well, not always, sometimes it's 09-12...)

And, reasoning further, this implies that the 2nd day is actually the 1st day, but you already defined that as the 0th day, so the 2nd day is the 0th day as well. And the 3rd, and...

So, I guess programmer's day must be on a different day on leap years?

Just put in your code
if(!leapyear){
programmersday=date(9,13);
}
else
{
programmersday=date(9,12);
}
heheheh
Just celebrate both days and that will do.

I know enough about my own countries economy, and the dollar value of it though.
