dateType class

Maese909 (131)
Hello all. I am writing the definition of a class called dateType that stores, well, a date. The member variables of this class hold the month, day, and year while some operations on this data are setting the date, printing the date, etc. However, I have come across some trouble writing the definition of the function calculateNewDate as I simply have no clue how to go about writing it. Anyway, according to my book, this function is supposed to:
"Calculate the new date by adding a fixed number of days to the date. For example, if the date is 3-19-2009 and the days to be added are 25, the new date is 4-12-2009."
Any help is appreciated.

The function calculateNewDate starts at line 150.

The math is often done by converting to (then add days) and from Julian Day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_day
