lweekdate - Date of last occurrence of weekday in month

Syntax

LastDate = lweekdate(Weekday, Year, Month, NextDay)

Arguments

`Weekday`	Weekday whose date you seek. Enter as an integer from 1 through 7:
	`1`	Sunday
	`2`	Monday
	`3`	Tuesday
	`4`	Wednesday
	`5`	Thursday
	`6`	Friday
	`7`	Saturday
`Year`	Year. Enter as a four-digit integer.
`Month`	Month. Enter as an integer from 1 through 12.
`NextDay`	(Optional) Weekday that must occur after `Weekday` in the same week. Enter as an integer from 0 through 7, where 0 = ignore (default) and 1 through 7 are the same as for `Weekday`.

Any input can contain multiple values, but if so, all other inputs must contain the same number of values or a single value that applies to all. For example, if Year is a 1-by-n vector of integers, then Month must be a 1-by-n vector of integers or a single integer. LastDate is then a 1-by-n vector of date numbers.

Description

LastDate = lweekdate(Weekday, Year, Month, NextDay) returns the serial date number for the last occurrence of Weekday in the given year and month and in a week that also contains NextDay.

Use the function datestr to convert serial date numbers to formatted date strings.
