You are required to design and write an application that will analyze an input file (InputFile.txt); the file contains a date on each line. Your algorithm should output all the missing dates, excluding Saturdays and Sundays. You should not cater for public holidays. Also keep in mind: each leap year (every 4 years) contains an extra date for February 29th. Leap years: 2000, 2004, 2008, …

Your results should also output a date range instead of each individual date; if there is more than one concurrent date missing. For example: if you are missing 2008/02/03, 2008/02/04 and 2008/02/05 you should output 2008/02/03 – 2008/02/05.

Your output should be written to a file (OutputFile.txt).

Example:

If you input was:

2008/01/03
2008/01/04
2008/01/07
2008/01/08
2008/01/09
2008/01/11
2008/01/14
2008/01/18
2008/01/21
2008/01/22
2008/01/24

Your output should be:

2008/01/10
2008/01/15 – 2008/01/17
2008/01/23
