How do I compute the # of days from date to date. 

I have sample data: 

Obs.  date1       date2           date3        date4

1       1/1/2010   2/10/2010   3/10/2010  4/5/2010

2       5/3/2011  5/5/2011      5/15/2010

 

I want output data: 

Obs.  date1       date2           date3        date4        daysdif1    daysdif2   daysdif3  

1       1/1/2010   2/10/2010   3/10/2010  4/5/2010        40            28             26

2       5/3/2011  5/5/2011      5/15/2010                         2              10 

 

Any help using would be great. 

thanks
