I have an assignment as below. Please guide me if you have any ideas.

Assumption: There is a calender already defined which contains working and non-working day list for a whole year.

I have to create a Calender function whcih takes 2 parameters: one is a date (date of an event) and other is an integer (number of days to complete the event - turn around time).

Now add the int value to event date to find the turn around date, but there may be holidays or non-working days in between. If a holiday is encountered, then add one extra day to the turn around date.

Now the problem is to have the calendar in both days and hours based capabilities. I was able to design the days based calendar but I am blinking my eyes

to have the hours based calendar feature.

Any help is greatly appreciated. If this is not clear, I can explain again.

What have you done so far?

Write down on a piece of paper, in very simple words, exactly how you intend to do the hours-based task. You need to get down to the level of detail where you are writing "add 3" or "divide by 24" and own to the level of simplicity where you use no words with more than 6 letters. That is pseudocode; once you have the pseudocode, you can very easily turn it into real code.
