# Instructions | ||
|
||
Calculate the date of meetups. | ||
Your task is to find the exact date of a meetup, given a month, year, weekday and week. | ||
|
||
Typically meetups happen on the same day of the week. In this exercise, you | ||
will take a description of a meetup date, and return the actual meetup date. | ||
There are five week values to consider: `first`, `second`, `third`, `fourth`, `last`, `teenth`. | ||
|
||
Examples of general descriptions are: | ||
For example, you might be asked to find the date for the meetup on the first Monday in January 2018 (January 1, 2018). | ||
|
||
- The first Monday of January 2017 | ||
- The third Tuesday of January 2017 | ||
- The wednesteenth of January 2017 | ||
- The last Thursday of January 2017 | ||
Similarly, you might be asked to find: | ||
|
||
The descriptors you are expected to parse are: | ||
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, last, monteenth, tuesteenth, wednesteenth, | ||
thursteenth, friteenth, saturteenth, sunteenth | ||
- the third Tuesday of August 2019 (August 20, 2019) | ||
- the teenth Wednesday of May 2020 (May 13, 2020) | ||
- the fourth Sunday of July 2021 (July 25, 2021) | ||
- the last Thursday of November 2022 (November 24, 2022) | ||
- the teenth Saturday of August 1953 (August 15, 1953) | ||
|
||
Note that "monteenth", "tuesteenth", etc are all made up words. There was a | ||
meetup whose members realized that there are exactly 7 numbered days in a month | ||
that end in '-teenth'. Therefore, one is guaranteed that each day of the week | ||
(Monday, Tuesday, ...) will have exactly one date that is named with '-teenth' | ||
in every month. | ||
## Teenth | ||
|
||
Given examples of a meetup dates, each containing a month, day, year, and | ||
descriptor calculate the date of the actual meetup. For example, if given | ||
"The first Monday of January 2017", the correct meetup date is 2017/1/2. | ||
The teenth week refers to the seven days in a month that end in '-teenth' (13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th). | ||
|
||
If asked to find the teenth Saturday of August, 1953, we check its calendar: | ||
|
||
```plaintext | ||
August 1953 | ||
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa | ||
1 | ||
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | ||
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | ||
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | ||
23 24 25 26 27 28 29 | ||
30 31 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
From this we find that the teenth Saturday is August 15, 1953. |

# Introduction | ||
|
||
Every month, your partner meets up with their best friend. | ||
Both of them have very busy schedules, making it challenging to find a suitable date! | ||
Given your own busy schedule, your partner always double-checks potential meetup dates with you: | ||
|
||
- "Can I meet up on the first Friday of next month?" | ||
- "What about the third Wednesday?" | ||
- "Maybe the last Sunday?" | ||
|
||
In this month's call, your partner asked you this question: | ||
|
||
- "I'd like to meet up on the teenth Thursday; is that okay?" | ||
|
||
Confused, you ask what a "teenth" day is. | ||
Your partner explains that a teenth day, a concept they made up, refers to the days in a month that end in '-teenth': | ||
|
||
- 13th (thirteenth) | ||
- 14th (fourteenth) | ||
- 15th (fifteenth) | ||
- 16th (sixteenth) | ||
- 17th (seventeenth) | ||
- 18th (eighteenth) | ||
- 19th (nineteenth) | ||
|
||
As there are also seven weekdays, it is guaranteed that each day of the week has _exactly one_ teenth day each month. | ||
|
||
Now that you understand the concept of a teenth day, you check your calendar. | ||
You don't have anything planned on the teenth Thursday, so you happily confirm the date with your partner. |
