This is similar to the work-day addition problem we have seen in so many forums.

Write a function/procudure/whatever that:
Given two integer arguments:
weekday: 0-6 (sun-sat)
day of month: 1-31

return the first future date that is the given day of week and given day of the month.

Target is to do it in the fewest lines possible (with no silly line continuations or anything like that).

Sort by date Sort by votes
Also, I realize in most languages this is a few lines with a while loop, but what I'm really looking for is for people to try and do it with minimal or no looping.

SQL version is trivial with calendar table handy:
Code: 
-- set datefirst 7
select min(calDate) as firstDate
from CalendarTable
where calDate >= getDate()
	and datepart(dd, calDate) = @dayOfMonth
	and datepart(dw, calDate) = @weekDay
Without it... I'd say problem is either procedural or requires ESquared-esque formula [smile]... that's what you basically want?

vongrunt - Nice [smile]

I've come up with a horrible looking solution in VB6 that involves no looping, but a lot of IF..ELSE statements. I imagine that it can very easily be improved upon and shortened but I might as well post it anyway...

Code: 
Public Function FindNextDate(DayofWeek As Integer, DateinMonth As Integer) As Date

Dim a As Integer
Dim SearchDate As Date

SearchDate = CDate(DateinMonth & "/" & Month(Date) & "/" & Year(Date))

If DateinMonth <= Day(Date) Then
a = 1
Else
a = 0
End If

If Weekday(DateAdd("m", a, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then
FindNextDate = DateAdd("m", a, SearchDate)
Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 1, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 1, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then
FindNextDate = DateAdd("m", a + 1, SearchDate)
Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 2, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 2, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then
FindNextDate = DateAdd("m", a + 2, SearchDate)
Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 3, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 3, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then

FindNextDate = DateAdd("m", a + 4, SearchDate)
Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 5, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 5, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then
FindNextDate = DateAdd("m", a + 5, SearchDate)
Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 6, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 6, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then
FindNextDate = DateAdd("m", a + 6, SearchDate)
Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 7, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 7, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then
FindNextDate = DateAdd("m", a + 7, SearchDate)
Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 8, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 8, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then

Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 9, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 9, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then

Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 10, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 10, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then

Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 11, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 11, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then

Exit Function

ElseIf Weekday(DateAdd("m", a + 12, SearchDate)) = (DayofWeek + 1) And Day(DateAdd("m", a + 12, SearchDate)) = DateinMonth Then
FindNextDate = DateAdd("m", a + 12, SearchDate)
Exit Function
End If

End Function
[/white]I'm sure you'll agree that it's nasty (I'm waiting for strongm to post an infinitley shorter VB6 solution) but I'm pretty sure it works properly (though I imagine it'll be pointed out pretty quickly if it doesn't! [wink])
I tested it using:
Code: 
Private Sub CommandTest_Click()
Dim i1 As Integer
Dim a1 As Integer

For i1 = 0 To 6

For a1 = 1 To 31
Debug.Print Format(FindNextDate(i1, a1), "ddd") & " - " & FindNextDate(i1, a1)
Next a1

Next i1
End Sub

OK, here's my attempt from ASP.NET:
Code: 
[COLOR=white]
    Private Sub GetFutureDate(ByRef CurrentDate As Date, ByVal WeekDay As Integer, ByVal DayOfMonth As Integer)
        If CurrentDate.DayOfWeek = WeekDay AndAlso CurrentDate.Day = DayOfMonth Then
            dteNextDate = CurrentDate
        Else
            GetFutureDate(CurrentDate.AddDays(1), WeekDay, DayOfMonth)
        End If
    End Sub
[/color]

The only thing I'm not sure of, is if you would class using a recursive function as "looping" or not?

Also to test it, use:
Code: 
[COLOR=white]
    Private dteNextDate As Date = System.DateTime.Today
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        GetFutureDate(dteNextDate, 2, 4)
        Response.Write("Next Date is " & dteNextDate)
    End Sub
[/color]

Nah - I've seen vongrunt's really neat SQL solution, and given up trying to beat it ...

Hm... code is definitely short but... very SQL-specific. Same thing translated to procedural language ain't much better than brute-force - especially if calendar table/collection/whatever is not available at runtime.

And there is one likely-not-gonna-happen bug caused by >=. Should be > instead.

C using Zeller's congruence
Code: 
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int z = 2;
void when (int dow, int d, int* mm, int* yy)
{
	int m, y, u;
	struct tm nowtm;
	time_t now = time (0);
    nowtm = *localtime (&now);
	m = nowtm.tm_mon;
	y = 1900 + nowtm.tm_year;
	do {
		m = m % 12 + 1;
		if (m == 1) ++y;
		u = ((d + int(((m > 2)? (m + 1) : (m + 13))* 30.6001) +	int(((m > 2) ? y : (y + 1)) * 1461 / 4)) - z) % 7;
	} while (u != dow);
	*mm = m;
	*yy = y;
}
To Test
Code: 
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	int m, y;
	/* Next Friday 13th */
	when (5, 13, &m, &y);
	printf ("%d %d\n", m, y);
	return 0;
}

and with a number table of course
Code: 
-- do this only once
CREATE TABLE NumberPivot (NumberID INT PRIMARY KEY)
DECLARE @intLoopCounter INT
SELECT @intLoopCounter =0
WHILE @intLoopCounter <=1000
BEGIN
INSERT INTO NumberPivot
VALUES (@intLoopCounter)
SELECT @intLoopCounter = @intLoopCounter +1
END
GO

Here is the fun part
Code: 
declare @dayOfMonth int,@weekDay int
select  @dayOfMonth =14,@weekDay =5

--Min
SELECT min(DATEADD(mm,numberID,GETDATE()))
FROM dbo.NumberPivot
WHERE DATEADD(dd,numberID,GETDATE()) >1
and datepart(dd, DATEADD(dd,numberID,GETDATE())) = @dayOfMonth
and datepart(dw, DATEADD(dd,numberID,GETDATE())) = @weekDay

--Next 5
SELECT top 5 DATEADD(mm,numberID,GETDATE())
FROM dbo.NumberPivot
WHERE DATEADD(dd,numberID,GETDATE()) >1
and datepart(dd, DATEADD(dd,numberID,GETDATE())) = @dayOfMonth
and datepart(dw, DATEADD(dd,numberID,GETDATE())) = @weekDay

OK, I have to do it. My code looks like, well, HarleyQuinn's. It's not the same of course, but the method is. I wrote this before looking at his solution. It's shorter (counting number of lines), but not much.

Code: 
[white]
Private Function GetDateForDayAndWeekday(ByVal TheDay As Integer, ByVal TheWeekday As Integer) As Date
    
    Dim dteTest As Date
    
    dteTest = DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date) + IIf(TheDay <= Day(Date), 1, 0), TheDay)
    TheWeekday = TheWeekday + 1
    
    Select Case True
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 0, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 0, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 0, dteTest)
        
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 1, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 1, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 1, dteTest)
        
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 2, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 2, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 2, dteTest)
        
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 3, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 3, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 3, dteTest)
        
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 4, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 4, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 4, dteTest)
        
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 5, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 5, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 5, dteTest)
        
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 6, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 6, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 6, dteTest)
        
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 7, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 7, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 7, dteTest)
        
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 8, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 8, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 8, dteTest)
        
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 9, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 9, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 9, dteTest)
        
        Case Weekday(DateAdd("m", 10, dteTest)) = TheWeekday And Day(DateAdd("m", 10, dteTest)) = TheDay
            GetDateForDayAndWeekday = DateAdd("m", 10, dteTest)

Here's a bash example with the date command from GNU coreutils.

Code: 
[white]
DAYS[1]=Sunday DAYS[1]=Monday DAYS[2]=Tuesday DAYS[3]=Wednesday
DAYS[4]=Thursday DAYS[5]=Friday DAYS[6]=Saturday
function day_day(){
  CT=0
  TG=$2
  while true; do
    DATE=$(date -d"${DAYS[$1]} $CT week")
    if [[ $(date -d"$DATE" +"%e") -eq $TG ]]; then
      echo $DATE
      break
    fi
    CT=$(($CT+1))
  done
}

day_day 4 28

Same solution, different language
Code: 
sub when (dow, d, ByRef m, ByRef y)
    dim  u
    do
        m = (m mod 12) + 1
        if m = 1 then y = y + 1
	if m > 2 then
	   u = d + cint ((m + 1) * 30.6001) + cint (y * 1461 / 4)
	else
	   u = d + cint ((m + 13) * 30.6001) + cint ((y + 1) * 1461 / 4)
	end if
	' Minor adjustment for Gregorian calendars
	u = (u - 3) mod 7
        if u = dow then exit sub
    loop
end sub
To Test
Code: 
    dim m, y
    ' Next Friday 13th 
    yoffset = 2000
    m = month (date)
    y = year (date) - yoffset
    WScript.echo "finding next Friday 13 from " & cstr (m) & " " & cstr (yoffset + y)
    when 5, 13, m, y
    WScript.echo cstr (m) & " " & cstr(yoffset + y)

åOK, here is a FoxPro 2.6 solution to this puzzle.

This function returns the next date (AFTER the starting date) which falls on the specified day of week and falls on the specified day of month.

This has to be the most UGLY piece of code I have ever written, HOWEVER, it ...

1) Works for any starting date (I tested all dates from 9/15/1752 thru 9/15/2102),
2) Does not have any loops,
3) Does not call any external user defined function,
4) Does not call itself (Not easily done in FoxPro due to nesting level limits),
5) Does not use any tables,
6) Calculates every line once and only once on each pass through the function (No branching using IF ... ENDIF, DO CASE ... ENDCASE, etc.),
6) And is only 11 lines in length.

I used the maximum allowable line length in FoxPro to keep the line count down.

Code:

RETURN

I know there has to be a better way of doing this, so come on all of you FoxPro people, improve it.

Now a note for all of you. I don't know anything about C, ASP, etc., but I strongly suspect that some of the previous solutions will fail with the following inputs:

Start date = 12/31/2006
Ending weekday = 0 (Sunday)
Ending monthday = 31

Answer is 8/31/2008 (Sunday), 609 days after start date.

Here's another recursive one in VB6
Code: 
[COLOR=white]
Public Function FutureDateR(DayofWeek As Integer, _
                            DayOfMonth As Integer, _
                            StartDate As Date) As Date

FutureDateR = DateSerial(Year(StartDate), Month(StartDate), DayOfMonth)

If Weekday(FutureDateR) <> DayofWeek Or Day(FutureDateR) <> DayOfMonth Then

     FutureDateR = FutureDateR(DayofWeek, DayOfMonth, _
                   DateSerial(Year(FutureDateR), Month(FutureDateR) + _
                              IIf(Day(FutureDateR) = DayOfMonth, 1, 0), 1))

End If
    
End Function

oops ... Found a bug.
Code: 
[COLOR=white]
Public Function FutureDateR(DayofWeek As Integer, _
                            DayOfMonth As Integer, _
                            StartDate As Date) As Date

FutureDateR = DateSerial(Year(StartDate), Month(StartDate) + _
              IIf(DayOfMonth < Day(StartDate), 1, 0), DayOfMonth)

If Weekday(FutureDateR) <> DayofWeek Or Day(FutureDateR) <> DayOfMonth Then

    FutureDateR = FutureDateR(DayofWeek, DayOfMonth, _
                  DateSerial(Year(FutureDateR), Month(FutureDateR) + _
                             IIf(Day(FutureDateR) = DayOfMonth, 1, 0), 1))
                             
End If
    
End Function
