# 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. * * * * For installation and learning resources, refer to the [exercism help page](http://exercism.io/languages/ruby). For running the tests provided, you will need the Minitest gem. Open a terminal window and run the following command to install minitest: gem install minitest If you would like color output, you can `require 'minitest/pride'` in the test file, or note the alternative instruction, below, for running the test file. Run the tests from the exercise directory using the following command: ruby meetup_test.rb To include color from the command line: ruby -r minitest/pride meetup_test.rb ## 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.
