PLEASE NOTE:
1) Two minor modifications in SOLID CAPS have been edited to the original specifications of the challenge, for clarity.
2) Currently the requirements call for handling a date as input and a calculated date as output. This implies a tedious date validation as well as rather complicated date arithmetic.
So, for those of you who prefer not dealing with dates, you may eliminate the date on input and output, and substitute on output a message indicating a day adjustment of 0, +1, or -1.
Example for using optional day adjustment:
If Input #1 has GMT-6 at 23:00,
and Input #2 wants results for GMT-4,
then the output time will be 01:00 with a day adjustment of +1.
Get it?
