The factor Holiday will return TRUE if it is a company nonworking holiday (for example, 1-JAN, 4-JUL, and 15-NOV) and FALSE otherwise. The factor NonWorkingDay will return whether it's a nonworking day (NO, WEEKEND, and COMPANY_HOLIDAY). We'll assume that a day is a nonworking day if it is a weekend or a company nonworking holiday (in case it is both weekend and holiday, it should resolve it to COMPANY_HOLIDAY).

• The user piter exists, the function piter...
