# Meetup Calculate the date of meetups. 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. Examples of general descriptions are: - The first Monday of January 2017 - The third Tuesday of January 2017 - The wednesteenth of January 2017 - The last Thursday of January 2017 The descriptors you are expected to parse are: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, last, monteenth, tuesteenth, wednesteenth, thursteenth, friteenth, saturteenth, sunteenth 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. 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. ## Running tests In order to run the tests, issue the following command from the exercise directory: For running the tests provided, `rebar3` is used as it is the official build and dependency management tool for erlang now. Please refer to [the tracks installation instructions](http://exercism.io/languages/erlang/installation) on how to do that. In order to run the tests, you can issue the following command from the exercise directory. ```bash $ rebar3 eunit ``` ### Test versioning Each problem defines a macro `TEST_VERSION` in the test file and verifies that the solution defines and exports a function `test_version` returning that same value. To make tests pass, add the following to your solution: ```erlang -export([test_version/0]). test_version() -> 1. ``` The benefit of this is that reviewers can see against which test version an iteration was written if, for example, a previously posted solution does not solve the current problem or passes current tests. ## Questions? For detailed information about the Erlang track, please refer to the [help page](http://exercism.io/languages/erlang) on the Exercism site. This covers the basic information on setting up the development environment expected by the exercises. ## Source Jeremy Hinegardner mentioned a Boulder meetup that happens on the Wednesteenth of every month [https://twitter.com/copiousfreetime](https://twitter.com/copiousfreetime) ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
