date <- as.Date("2015-02-10")
compute_day_from_date(date = date)

compute_day_from_date(date = "2015-02-10", start_year = 2014)

date <- as.Date("2009-02-10")
compute_day_from_date(date = date, start_year = 2008)

dates <- c(as.Date("2008-02-10"), as.Date("2009-02-10"))
compute_day_from_date(date = dates, start_year = 2008)
