how to Count days I traveled outside Canada?

[max101]

In PR Renewal Form there is section that ask Number of days that I traveled or lived outside Canada in the last five years. I am confused on how to count the days when I was outside Canada for partial days.

For example:

If I left Canada on Jan 1st and returned next day on Jan 2nd, does that count as 2 days absent from Canada?

If I travel across the border for a day trip leaving Canada in the morning and returning same day in the evening, does that count as 1 day absent from Canada?

Thanks!!

6.4.   Day
For the purpose of calculating the number of days to comply with the residency obligation in A28(2)(a), a day includes a full day or any part of a day that a permanent resident is physically present in Canada. Any part of a day spent in Canada, or otherwise in compliance with A28(2)(a), is to be counted as one full day for the purpose of calculating the 730 days in a five-year period.
