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

To run the tests:

$ gradle test
