Note in this example that the first day is not in the range of September dates:
Frontier calculates the new date 26 days after the end of September (which has 30 days), arriving at Oct. 26.
There is no 13th month! Frontier goes to the first month past the 12th and reaches January. It knows it crossed a year boundary, so it makes the year 1992. |
