I m getting wrong days between in java for example days between 1944/01/01 to 1991/01/31 is 17197 so at 1991/02/01 it should be 17198 but i m getting 17195..can u explain why?

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String args[])  {
        int startingEngYear = 1944;
        int startingEngMonth = 1;
        int startingEngDay = 1;
        
        int engYear = 1991;
        int engMonth = 1;
        int engDay = 31;

        Calendar currentEngDate = new GregorianCalendar();
        currentEngDate.set(engYear, engMonth, engDay);
        
        Calendar baseEngDate = new GregorianCalendar();
        baseEngDate.set(startingEngYear, startingEngMonth, startingEngDay);
        
        long totalEngDaysCount = daysBetween(baseEngDate, currentEngDate);
        
        System.out.println("total days between is:" + totalEngDaysCount);
    }

    private static long daysBetween(Calendar baseEngDate,
            Calendar currentEngDate) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Calendar date = (Calendar) baseEngDate.clone();
        long daysBetween = 0;
        while (date.before(currentEngDate)) {
            date.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
            daysBetween++;
        }
        return daysBetween;
    }
}
