Get the number of days between two dates in Oracle, inclusive of the dates

Viewed 89986

I want to get total number of days between two provided dates. I've tried the below query but didn't get the exact different; the last date is not being included.

select (to_date ('15-06-13','dd-MM-yyyy') - to_date('01-02-12','dd-MM-yyyy')) 
  from dual

This should return 501 days but it is returning 500 days instead. If I add +1 after calculation, then I'm getting the correct result.

Do I really need to include +1 or is there an alternate approach to get the actual result?
