# 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 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 (first, second, teenth, etc), calculate the date of the actual meetup. For example, if given "First Monday of January 2017", the correct meetup date is 2017/1/2 ## Getting Started Make sure you have read [the C++ page](http://exercism.io/languages/cpp) on exercism.io. This covers the basic information on setting up the development environment expected by the exercises. ## Passing the Tests Get the first test compiling, linking and passing by following the [three rules of test-driven development](http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.TheThreeRulesOfTdd). Create just enough structure by declaring namespaces, functions, classes, etc., to satisfy any compiler errors and get the test to fail. Then write just enough code to get the test to pass. Once you've done that, uncomment the next test by moving the following line past the next test. ```C++ #if defined(EXERCISM_RUN_ALL_TESTS) ``` This may result in compile errors as new constructs may be invoked that you haven't yet declared or defined. Again, fix the compile errors minimally to get a failing test, then change the code minimally to pass the test, refactor your implementation for readability and expressiveness and then go on to the next test. Try to use standard C++11 facilities in preference to writing your own low-level algorithms or facilities by hand. [CppReference](http://en.cppreference.com/) is a wiki reference to the C++ language and standard library. If you are new to C++, but have programmed in C, beware of [C traps and pitfalls](http://www.slideshare.net/LegalizeAdulthood/c-traps-and-pitfalls-for-c-programmers). ## 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.
