You're right, and I didn't doubt that. I meant it's self-inconsistent with how days and years are handled, not necessarily inconsistent with other calendar APIs

  I guess the idea is to use the month as an array index to convert it into a string. You don't usually convert the day of month or the year into a string. Nontheless I agree that it's bad API design.

    Then declare the array with 13 slots, fill slots 1-12 with the appropriate strings, and don't use slot 0. Or better, put in an error check for being passed a zero. Suddenly, a 1-12 value for "month" is directly an index into an array to convert the number into a string...
