|  | You are given the following information, but you may prefer to do some research for yourself. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | <ul> | ||
|  |   <li>1 Jan 1900 was a Monday.</li> | ||
|  |   <li>Thirty days has September,<br>April, June and November.<br>All the rest have thirty-one,<br>Saving February alone,<br>Which has twenty-eight, rain or shine.<br>And on leap years, twenty-nine.</li> | ||
|  |   <li>A leap year occurs on any year evenly divisible by 4, but not on a century unless it is divisible by 400.</li> | ||
|  | </ul> | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | How many Sundays fell on the first of the month during the twentieth century (1 Jan 1901 to 31 Dec 2000)? | ||
|  |

 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | `countingSundays(1943, 1946)` should return a number. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | assert(typeof countingSundays(1943, 1946) === 'number'); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | `countingSundays(1943, 1946)` should return 6. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | assert.strictEqual(countingSundays(1943, 1946), 6); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | `countingSundays(1995, 2000)` should return 10. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | assert.strictEqual(countingSundays(1995, 2000), 10); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | `countingSundays(1901, 2000)` should return 171. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | assert.strictEqual(countingSundays(1901, 2000), 171); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
