C++ overloading constructor problems - c++

Question

I am working on a homework assignment for my C++ class, but I'm have difficulty with my overloading constructor.The default constructor works fine but the overloading constructor will not work properly.Any guidance would be appericated.

Redo assignment 5 by
1. Defining a class Date that has
(1) Three member variables:
date,
month,
year
(2) member functions
constructor: Initializes the Date to the given month, day and
year or to the default value. you can overload the constructor,
or use default arguments.
example use:
Date today(3,31, 2017); // 03/31/2017
Date firstDay; // will be 01/01/2017
reset: reset the month, day and year based on the parameters. So today.reset(4,1,2017); will change today to 04/01/2017.
get_day_of_week: return the day of the week as int 0-6
get_day_of_week_name: return the day of the week as a string
print: print out the date information include the date, month, year, day of the week.
(3) helper funcions:
bool is_leap_year();
// Returns true if the given year is a leap year
int get_century_value();
// Returns a value computed from the century of the year
int get_year_value();
// Returns a value computed based on the years since the beginning of the century.
int get_month_value();
// Returns a value (from a table) for the Date's month
2. write a main function to test the class.

Answer 1

You have the assignments backwards.
Date(int fmonth, int fdate, int fyear) {
fmonth = month;
fdate = date;
fyear = year;
}
should be
Date(int fmonth, int fdate, int fyear) {
month = fmonth;
date = fdate;
year = fyear;
}
