I have this function that is supposed to calculate the day depending on the number. i.e. If today is Sunday, and I add 15, it should return Monday. Problem is I have no idea how to approach this mathematically, should I use an enum type? Am I even on the right track?

class dayType
{
public:
	void setDay(string);
	void printDay() const;
	string returnDay() const;
	string returnNext() const;
	string returnPrevious() const;
	string calculateDay(int);
	dayType();
private:
	string day;
};

Try using modulus and an integer. Sunday is 0, monday is 1, etc to 7. Then add a number of days to it, and take the modulus (remainder) over 7.
