Calculate the number of days passed from a given year

I have this code for calculating the number of days passed from a given year:



for (int currentYear = localDate.getYear() - 1; currentYear >= STARTING_YEAR; currentYear--){

            LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(currentYear,5,5); //an arbitrary day of year

            jdn += date.lengthOfYear();

        }

jdn += localDate.getDayOfYear();


This code is working as expected.



I am not comfortable with choosing an arbitrary day to only get the length of the year. Is there any better approach?

          0 $begingroup$ I'm fairly new to coding and I wrote this script in Python for a house with a roof in Minecraft Pi. I've found different ways to write the coordinates to make the code base shorter, but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to refactor it any further so I don't have to list each coordinate line by line. import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft import mcpi.block as block mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create() p = mc.player.getTilePos() mc.setBlocks(p.x+1, p.y, p.z+1, #Main structure starting coordinates (DO NOT ALTER) p.x+19, p.y+4, p.z+6, #Structure size/coordinates (Alters cube size) block.STONE_BRICK) mc.setBlocks(p.x+2, p.y+1, p.z+2, #Hollowing out main structure interior p.x+18, p.y+3, p.z+5, block.AIR) mc.setBlocks(p.x, p.y...
