TASK: Determine what month the N-th day occurs in, using a vector.


COMMENT: The first day of the year is in January. The 365-th day of the year is in December. When does day 100 occur? If you think about it, you might guess April, but now you need to write a program to answer this question.

You should use a vector that stores the length of each month. For a non-leap-year like 2017, these lengths are:

        31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31
      
Be sure you understand how to create a single variable, a vector, that stores all these values under one name.


INSTRUCTIONS:

        Use MATLAB's input() statement to request a value for n,
        the day number, between 1 and 365.

        Use a for loop, with counter "m" running from 1 to 12.

          Inside of that loop, you need to determine if day n occurs
          in month m.  

          You can do this by comparing n to "t", the total number of days
          that have passed by the end of this month.  

          Before the loop, set t to 0.  Each time you do the loop,
          add this month's length to t.  

            t = t + ?;    <--- How do you add this month's length?

          Thus, the first time in the loop,
          you will ask whether n is less than or equal to t = 31.

          IF this condition is true, 
            print a message that "day n is in month m"
            BREAK out of the loop
          end of your IF check

        end of your FOR loop
