how to add date in date checking c++ program?

[kannushree]

i have built a program ,that checks wheteher a date is valid or not.
now if i want to add date,month year (in same input) to a particular date,,how wud the logic work?
it should be like dis :
void add(int d, int m,int y)

Well, I'd add the days together. If the resulting days were greater than a normal amount, I'd increment the month and subtract the proper amount from the days. Now that I've incremented the month, I need to check if the month is greater than a normal amount...if so, I'd increment the years and subtract the proper amount from months.

Repeat for months and years.

A quite simple alternative is to convert your date to a Julian Day number, add the number
of days to that day number and convert back again.

Sorry, these questions are things that you should either know on your own or be able to find out easily on your own; I can't do your homework for you.

I don't mean any disrespect, but really... learn to spell properly. Don't you have any idea how difficult it is to read your gibberish on a professional forum? It makes you look too dumb to even know what C++ is.

Hi Kanushree ,

I hope by now you might have got your answer however if you have not i have recently able to run the program i have created i would like to share it with you please
find below program:
#include<iostre am.h>
#include<proces s.h>
#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0
typedef int BOOL;

class TDate
{
private:
int _date;
int _month;
int _year;
public:
TDate()
{
this->_date=1;
this->_month=1;
this->_year=100;
} /*Default Constructor*/

void AcceptDateFromC onsole()
{
cout<<"Enter Date:"<<endl;
cin>>this->_date;
cout<<"Enter Month:"<<endl;
cin>>this->_month;
cout<<"Enter Year:"<<endl;
cin>>this->_year;
} /*Function to Accept the date from the user*/

BOOL ValidateDate()
{
int months[12]={31,28,31,30,3 1,30,31,31,30,3 1,30,31};
if((this->_year%400==0 && this->_year%100!=0)| |(this->_year%4==0))
months[1]=29;
if(!(this->_date>0 && this->_date<=month s[_month-1]))
return FALSE;
if(!(this->_month>=1 && this->_month<=12))
return FALSE;
if(!(this->_year>100 && this->_year<9999))
return FALSE;
else
return TRUE;
}/*Function to validate the Date entered */


void addDay()
{
int DaysInMonth[12] = {31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31};
bool flag;
int theDays;
cout<<"Enter how many days to be added"<<endl;
cin>>theDays;"\ n";

if((this->_year%400==0 && this->_year%100!=0)| |(this->_year%4==0))
DaysInMonth[1] = 29;
int tempDays =this->_date;
tempDays += theDays;

do
{
flag = false;
if(tempDays>Day sInMonth[this->_month-1])
{
tempDays-=DaysInMonth[this->_month-1];
this->_month++;
flag = true;
}
if(this->_month > 12)
{
this->_month=1;
this->_year++;
}
}
while(flag);
this->_date = tempDays;





}


void returnDate()
{
cout<<"date is "<<this->_date<<"-"<<this->_month<<"-"<<this->_year<<endl;
}

void DisplayDate()
{
cout<<"Date:"<< this->_date<<"-"<<this->_month<<"-"<<this->_year<<endl;
}


int Menu_List()
{
int choice;
cout<<"1.Accept Date"<<endl;
cout<<"2.Displa y Date"<<endl;
cout<<"3.Add number of days to the date"<<endl;
cout<<"4.Exit"< <endl;
cout<<"Enter your choice"<<endl;
cin>>choice;
return choice;

}/*Function to generate the Menu List*/




};

int main(void)
{
int choice;
int validate;
TDate d;
while((choice=d .Menu_List())!= 4)
{
switch(choice)
{
case 1:

do
{
system("cls");
d.AcceptDateFro mConsole();

}while((validat e=d.ValidateDat e())!=TRUE);

break;
case 2:
system("cls");
d.DisplayDate() ;
break;
case 3:
system("cls");
d.addDay();
d.returnDate();


}
}
return 0;
}

Hi, for this code are all your functions written inside the class or are they written in another file? It's hard to tell. I notice you have two .h files included and I'm curious about what's in those. I'm writing a similar code but I have a .h that includes my class, and two other files, one for functions and one for main. I wanted to play with your code and break it and fix it to see how it works to help me understand classes better. Thanks for any info. :)
