Using what you learned in lesson 10, create the application described below:

The user enters their birthday. (Text box, calendar, input box, your choice.)
If the date entered is a valid date (IsDate) display the day of the week they were born (Thursday for example).
Display the Chinese year that they were born. (Year of the Tiger for example)
If the date is not valid, display a message box with an error message.
Display the zodiac sign.
Display at least one picture corresponding to either the Chinese year or the zodiac.

The zodiac sign is an interesting use for arrays.
Load the search array as shown below. Multiply the month by 100 and add the day.
Loop through the search array while the number is less than the value in the array.
Do a little bit to take care of the end-of-year problem.

Sign	Dates	Search array
Aquarius	1/20-2/18	120
Pisces	2/19-3/20	219
Aries	3/21-4/19	321
Taurus	4/20-5/20	420
Gemini	5/21-6/20	521
Cancer	6/21-7/22	621
Leo	7/23-8/22	723
Virgo	8/23-9/22	823
Libra	9/23-10/22	923
Scorpio	10/23-11/21	1023
Sagittarius	11/22-12/21	1122
Capricorn	12/22-1/19	1222
