Re: date problem: some months have 5 weeks... how I discoverwhich ones?

For a newspaper, a week start on sunday and ends in a saturday. Media planners divide ads in newspapers by monhs and than by weeks, respectively. so let's say: january 2001 started in a monday Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 - 1st week 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 - 2nd week 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 - 3rd week 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 - 4th week 28 29 30 31 - 5th week So january is a month that has 5 weeks for a newspaper, because if I would put an ad on a tuesday, january has 5 tuesdays.. got it? How do I do to calculate that? Damn question!

All months have more than 4 weeks except February (but only when it is not a leap year). I'm probably not understanding what exactly you are trying to do. By your definition then, wouldn't this month only have 3 weeks? January 2001 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 Yet there are 10 unaccounted days which is 1 and 3/7 more weeks.
