Today we will solve a program that has implied conditions. Implied conditions lies in the question of the problem. The problem addresses different conditions, but leaves certain conditions out of the question. Which we the programmers, has to find out and solve it accordingly.
In the following problem, the question talks about Georgian Calendar [1700–1917] and Julian Calendar[1919–2700].
