I'm writing a program that converts a short date (mm/dd/yyyy) to a long date (March 12, 2014) and prints out the date.
The program has to work given the following user inputs:
10/23/2014
9/25/2014
12/8/2015
1/1/2016
I have the program working with the first user input but I'm not sure how to proceed with handling a user input that doesn't have a "0" in the first position of the string.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string date;
cout << "Enter a date (mm/dd/yyyy): " << endl;
getline(cin, date);
string month, day, year;
// Extract month, day, and year from date
month = date.substr(0, 2);
day = date.substr(3, 2);
year = date.substr(6, 4);
// Check what month it is
if (month == "01") {
month = "January";
}
else if (month == "02") {
month = "February";
}
else if (month == "03") {
month = "March";
}
else if (month == "04") {
month = "April";
}
else if (month == "05") {
month = "May";
}
else if (month == "06") {
month = "June";
}
else if (month == "07") {
month = "July";
}
else if (month == "08") {
month = "August";
}
else if (month == "09") {
month = "September";
}
else if (month == "10") {
month = "October";
}
else if (month == "11") {
month = "November";
}
else {
month = "December";
}
// Print the date
cout << month << " " << day << "," << year << endl;
return 0;
}
I'd greatly appreciate any help.
As Red Serpent wrote in the comments: Search for the / using std::string::find, e.g.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::string date = "09/28/1983";
int startIndex = 0;
int endIndex = date.find('/');
std::string month = date.substr(startIndex, endIndex);
startIndex = endIndex + 1;
endIndex = date.find('/', endIndex + 1);
std::string day = date.substr(startIndex, endIndex - startIndex);
std::string year = date.substr(endIndex + 1, 4);
std::cout << month.c_str() << " " << day.c_str() << "," << year.c_str() << std::endl;
return 0;
}
You could also take advantage of stream conversion, for a less efficient but simpler solution:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string months[] = {"", "January", "February", "Mars", "April", "May", "June", "Jully", "August", "September", "October", "December"};
cout << "Enter a date (mm/dd/yyyy): " << endl;
char c;
int day, month, year;
cin >> day >> c >> month >> c >> year;
// error handling is left as an exercice to the reader.
cout << months[month] << " " << day << ", " << year << endl;
return 0;
}

I have an assignment that essentially requires me to use a class to output the day of the week based upon input from the user EX: user enters sat (first three letters) --> output = This day of the week is: 6. We're also required for the program to also ouput the next six days following the day specified by the user, ex:
Input:
tue
Output:
This day of the week is: 2
This day of the week is: 3
This day of the week is: 4
This day of the week is: 5
This day of the week is: 6
This day of the week is: 7
This day of the week is: 1
My program is bit messy as I initially misunderstood the question. I was able to develop a functioning program that allows the user to input a number for the day, but not the first three letters as that part of the code seems not to be functioning whatsoever.
Any suggestions or solutions would be immensely appreciated. Thank you in advance.

UPDATE:
Changed my code up entirely but still need to implement the next day and then
the next 6 days function.
NEW CODE :
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class DayOfWeek
{
string day;
public:
DayOfWeek();
DayOfWeek(string day_name);
void print_car(ostream& ins);
};
int main() {
string day_name;
cout << "Enter the first three letters of the day :" << endl;
cin >> day_name;
DayOfWeek my_car(day_name);
my_car.print_car(cout);
return 0;
}
DayOfWeek::DayOfWeek(string day_name) {
day = day_name;
}
void DayOfWeek::print_car(ostream& outs) {
if (day == "Mon" || day == "mon") {
outs << "This is day 1 of the week" << endl;
}
if (day == "Tue" || day == "tue") {
outs << "This is day 2 of the week" << endl;
}
if (day == "Wed" || day == "wed") {
outs << "This is day 3 of the week" << endl;
}
if (day == "Thu" || day == "thu") {
outs << "This is day 4 of the week" << endl;
}
if (day == "Fri" || day == "fri") {
outs << "This is day 5 of the week" << endl;
}
if (day == "Sat" || day == "sat") {
outs << "This is day 6 of the week" << endl;
}
if (day == "Sun" || day == "sun") {
outs << "This is day 7 of the week" << endl;
}
}
Final Update:
I am nearly at a final solution but I am having a issues declaring a
new object for the final part of my problem.
The code is here...
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class DayOfWeek
{
string day;
// int nday;
public:
DayOfWeek();
DayOfWeek(string day_name);
void print_day(ostream& ins);
};
int main() {
string day_name;
int nday;
cout << "Enter the first three letters of the day :" << endl;
cin >> day_name;
DayOfWeek week_day(day_name);
week_day.print_day(cout);
DayOfWeek next_day;
int d = _____;
int current = (d % 7) + 1;
int count = 0;
while (count < 7) {
next_day = DayOfWeek(current);
next_day.print_day(cout);
count++;
}
return 0;
}
DayOfWeek::DayOfWeek(string day_name) {
day = day_name;
}
void DayOfWeek::print_day(ostream& outs) {
int dayNumber = 0;
if (day == "Mon" || day == "mon") {
dayNumber = 1;
}
if (day == "Tue" || day == "tue") {
dayNumber = 2;
}
if (day == "Wed" || day == "wed") {
dayNumber = 3;
}
if (day == "Thu" || day == "thu") {
dayNumber = 4;
}
if (day == "Fri" || day == "fri") {
dayNumber = 5;
}
if (day == "Sat" || day == "sat") {
dayNumber = 6;
}
if (day == "Sun" || day == "sun") {
dayNumber = 7;
}
outs << "This is day " << dayNumber << " of the week." << endl;
}
I have some issue being able to convert the user inputted name of the day, into an integer that I can use to plug into the next_day function.
I am also having an error in the while loop
while (count < 7) {
next_day = DayOfWeek(current);
next_day.print_day(cout);
count++;
}
specifically line:
next_day = DayOfWeek(current);
The error says that there's no instance of DayOfWeek::DayOfWeek matching the argument list.
I feel like I'm nearly there if not for these couple of bumps.
Code below should do some of what you need.
Instead of using chars, I've used a string. That way you can compare the whole string in one go rather than 1 char at a time.
Also for comparing the input against the day-words, i have created an array of Strings. The index corresponds to the day, i.e 0=sunday, 1=monday etc.
This is neat for 2 reasons, we can compare with a loop easily, and as soon as we find the matching day, we just grab the index and there we have our day number. Store that number, and then we can return that for the day number, or use the day as an index in the array to return the day word instead.
Hopefully this is clear, you still need to make a function to return the next day, but the 3 letter input should work.
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype> // std::tolower
#include <algorithm> // std::transform
class DayOfWeek
{
private:
const static std::string days[7];
private:
int day;
public:
DayOfWeek();
DayOfWeek(int);
DayOfWeek(std::string);
void outputDayNumber();
void outputDayLetters();
};
// if we have an array of strings, we can use these for comparison and also Day value
const std::string DayOfWeek::days[7] = {"sun", "mon", "tue", "wed", "thu", "fri", "sat"};
DayOfWeek::DayOfWeek() {
}
DayOfWeek::DayOfWeek(int dayNum)
{
day = dayNum;
}
DayOfWeek::DayOfWeek(std::string dayWord)
{
day = 0; // set Sunday as default
// truncate the string to 3 letters
if (dayWord.length() > 3)
dayWord = dayWord.substr(0, 3);
// to lower case - makes comparison case insensitive
std::transform(dayWord.begin(), dayWord.end(), dayWord.begin(), [](unsigned char c) { return std::tolower(c);});
// compare with our list of strings, if none found, it will stay as default
for (int i = 0; i < 7; ++i)
if (days[i] == dayWord)
{
day = i;
break;
}
}

std::cout << std::endl << "Enter a weekday: ";
std::cin >> dayWord;
std::cout << std::endl << "You entered " << dayWord;
DayOfWeek dayObject = DayOfWeek(dayWord);
dayObject.outputDayNumber();
dayObject.outputDayLetters();
}
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int daysMonth (int month) // the part to clarify
{
if (month >= 1 && month <= 12){
if (month == 2)
return 28;
if (month == 4 || month == 6 || month == 9 || month == 11)
return 30;
return 31;
}
return 0;
}
void nextDay (int day, int month, int year) // nextday conditions
{
int daysOfMonth = daysMonth(month);
if ((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0) || year % 400 == 0)

{
day = 1;
month = 1;
year = year + 1;
}
cout << "Next day is : " << day << "/" << month << "/" << year << endl;
}
int main(){
int day;

cout << "Enter a date : " << endl;
cin >> day;

}

cout << "Invalid date" << endl;
}
Now my question is the following :
If I'm entering 28/02/2016 I'm getting 30/02/2016.
The other question is :
Is there a way to get the date in the DD/MM/YYYY format and then get the DD MM YYYY with a coommand like stoi - I mention that the command is not working for me.
I was trying to get the results like usual if I input 28/02/2016 I should get 29/02/2016 - I know there's another condition to increase the day + 1 but why isn't that skipped ?
I need to print out dates in four formats when a user enters a month, day and year.
For example if I enter "sept" for month, 17 for day and 1921 for year, it will print out:
1) 9/17/1921
2) September 17,1921
3) 1921-9-17
4) 1921-sep-17
I also do validation where if the number of days is less than 1 or greater than than the number of days for that month and the year cannot be less than 1900 or greater than 2020. If it is, month gets defaulted to "January" day to 1 and year to 2001.
When I enter jan for month 5 for day 2005 for year, I get weird values in my console 1/-858993460/-858993460 and then terminates. But when I enter mar 5 2005 i get
3/5/2005
March2005
ory corruption5
ory corruptionmar-5
I create an instance of Date and call a 3 argument constructor. The 3 argument constructor then calls a validate function which return a boolean. If the return value is false, it will call the default constructor which sets everything to january 1 2001.
//UPDATE:
Changed inital value of int index in date.cpp to -1 instead of NULL. Doing this now calls the print function four times four when I enter "jan" but I still get the weird results
1/5/2005
January2005 //This should be January 5, 2005
ory corruption5
ory corruptionmar-5
Why does the first time print is called all my member variables retain the values, but the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time, day is missing and shows weird corruption message?
I don't know what is going on but when I also enter an invalid date such as "jan" for month but 36 for days and 2025 for year, the default constructor should set month to January, day to 1 and year to 2001 but I get garbage values
1/-858993460/-858993460
This is the first time print is called then after that it terminates.

There is a standard library function for this: strftime().
You give it a date in a struct, and it writes a string. For your four cases, the format strings would be:
1) %m/%d/%Y
2) %B %d, %Y
3) %F
4) %Y-%b-%d
Just trying to follow the book on a self-paced learn C++.
What I have so far is a program that I have created that has an object of Date, which has four parameters. The three parameters that are filled out by the user are, "Month", "Day", and "Year". The fourth parameter is "Old", and that is to store how many days old it is. For that, I have written a function that calculates how many days old it is, and sets it as the forth parameter.
This part works. It calculates how many days old it is.
The book wants me to subtract two objects of type Date and find out the difference between how old they are. For that it specifically requests that I create an overloaded operator of (-), and subtract the two. This is where I am getting a little stuck. The part that I am having issues with is, I believe, the call that is used to access it. I continue to get the error of "ambiguous overload for "operator-' (operand types are 'Date' and 'Date').
It recognizes both objects as Date. Now I just need a little help for the last leg of this.
I have tried using several different things in the header, but perhaps I am implementing them incorrectly.
-friend Date operator - (Date &ob1, Date &ob2);
-Date &operator-();
-Date &operator-(Date);
-Date operator-(Date);
If you can help out with this, it would be wonderful. I'm new, and I've spent over 12 hours on this on question.

/* Here you will have to play around with this->month and this->day */

I want the program to work so that I can turn any worded month to its equivalent number.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char month[20];
int INT_month;
cout << "Enter a month: (ex. January, February)";
cin >> month; // Let's say the input is February
if (month == "February")
INT_month = 2;
cout << "The month in its' integral form is " << INT_month << endl;
// INT_month = 2130567168 // WHY DOES IT DO THIS????
return 0;
}
One way to do it is creating a vector of month names, and using the look-up index plus one as the month number:
vector<string> months = {
"january", "february", "march", ...
};
string search = "march";
auto pos = find(months.begin(), months.end(), search);
if (pos != months.end()) {
cout << "Month number: " << distance(months.begin(), pos) + 1 << endl;
} else {
cerr << "Not found" << endl;
}
This prints 3 (demo on ideone).
