Code will compile, but doesn't work correctly.

Here is the purpose of the program (I'm sure the "DayOfTheWeek" program has popped up here before):

1. Set the day.
2. Print the day.
3. Return the day.
4. Return the next day.
5. Return the previous day.
6. Calculate and return the day by adding a certain amount of days to the current day. For example, if you add five days to Saturday, the day to be returned is Thursday. Likewise, if we add 12 days to Wednesday, the day returned will be Monday.

Line 101 Works correctly. Supposed to use plusOneDay to add 1 day, and it equals Tuesday.

Line 102 Does not work. Supposed to to use minusOneDay to subtract 1 day, and equal Sunday. But its always blank.

Line 103 Works correctly. Supposed to use addDays to add 3 days, and it equals Thursday.

Line 105 Does not work like its supposed to. It is supposed to use addDays to subtract 3 days, it should equal Friday, but its always blank. Instead I just added by 4 because I can't get it to work otherwise.

1. Use an enumerator for the days of the week.
2. Use a for loop to add the days, and in each iteration, check to see if the current iteration % 7 is 0. If it is 0, then set the number back to 1 and continue.

I'm not allowed to use enumerator for this assignment, unfortunately.

If I turned it in as is, I'd still get a 50/60 for my grade, but I want that 60/60.

Also line 66 should read if(indexofday == 0). This will fix your problem.

Thanks!

Seems like all I needed was a better pair of eyes lol.
