unary increment/decrement can only be applied to numeric expressions

I am getting and error 'unary increment/decrement can only be applied to numeric expressions'

Any other way to iterate over Date or DateTime? 

 

Date d1 = newTsscActivity.Start_Date_Time__c;
Date d2 = newTsscActivity.End_Date__c;
         	
   //DateTime dt1=DateTime.newInstance(d1, Time.newInstance(0, 0, 0, 0));
  //DateTime dt2=DateTime.newInstance(d2, Time.newInstance(0, 0, 0, 0));
         	
   for (date d=d1; d<=d2;d++){
         		
        DateTime dt1=DateTime.newInstance(d, Time.newInstance(0, 0, 0, 0));
         	
        String dayofweek = dt1.format('EEE');
         		
         		        		
    }

Use the date methods.

 

It would be 

 

d.addDays(1)

 

instead of d++

I used what Andrew recommended in my response to your other thread in a do/while loop:  http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/Apex-Code-Development/How-many-Fridays-between-2-dates/td-p/543407
