C++ :: Getting User Input In Date Format

Oct 26, 2014

So I have a programming assignment which is for getting a user input in the format of m/d/yyyy. This is stored as d/m/yyyy. I have been able to code all the rest of the requirements of the program but the thing that is giving me trouble is this. The year is allowed to go from 1-3000. The format of the displayed date is:

a zero-filled, two-digit day number, a dash, full name of month, a dash, zero-filled, four-digit year.

I am able to use a switch statement in order to get my name of the month. What I am struggling to figure out is the whole zero filled two digit day and zero filled four digit year. From the way the input is store it appears to me that it will be stored as yyyy which means if you were to enter 0001 for year 1 then it should output it as that (this is an assumption based on format). What I don't get is that the day is entered and stored as d which means if you put in 12 how would it be stored. However if you put in 6 to print the output I would need to add a zero and I dont know how to do that either.

Here is the code for getting the input. The function must stay formated this way as per the instructor. The / is stored but ignored hence the char for second and fourth since / is a char

Code:
void getDate (int& day, int& month, int& year){
char second;
char fourth;
cout << "Please enter a date in the format of m/d/yyyy" << endl;
cin >> month >> second >> day >>fourth >> year;
}

C/C++ :: Making A Date Format Input?

Dec 16, 2014

how my code should work is a console screen in which the user enters a date using format dd/mm/yyyy

Regardless of logical errors (checking days if bigger than 31 or negative values or.. etc) My code should be able to validate the following:

- if the user enters a letter, the program should output an error message

- if the user typed the date as 8/2/2014 the program should convert it to 08/02/2014 without returning an error message

Here's my code so far, I really can't find the bugs in it

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;  
main(){
 char d[2], m[2], y[4], br1, br2, dx, mx;
 bool end, nobr1, nobr2;

[code]....

as you notice, I tried two different validating formats in the days and months, unfortunately they both failed..

Here's how my program is outputting so far:

C++ :: Program Which Takes Date And Time Input From The User

Jan 20, 2013

I am writing a C++ program which takes date & time input from the user. This is then parsed into a struct such as:

struct time
{
short year;
short month;
short day;
short hour;
short min;
};

My question is: how can I convert such a struct into a time_t object, which is an unsigned long giving the time as the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch Jan 1st 1970, 00:00, as set out in time.h.

I am wondering if this can be achieved using the standard library, or whether I just need to write a function to perform the appropriate arithmetic.

C++ :: Program To Enter Today Date In Certain Format?

Apr 2, 2013

I want to create a program where you enter today's date, in the following format: 02/04/2013. As well as your birth date in the following format: 27/09/1994. After doing that I want to assign the day, month and year of the present date, as well as the day, month and year of the birth date in to their own variables (for example, Day, Month, Year), and then calculate your age.

I have tried doing this with cin.get(), but this method is way too long, and I'm looking for a shorter method

Mar 11, 2014

I am building a template for CodeBlocks, which pre-write some includes, the main skull and a header.

This header looks like that :
/**
* @Author Me
* @Description Brief description
* @Date ??

I would like to put the current Date, just after the line @Date, is-it possible ? And if yes, it-is possible to put a field @FileName which copy the filename into the comment ?

C# :: Check Input Date Between 2 Dates (not SQL)

Oct 8, 2014

In my WinForm, Our client insists to use Textbox instead of DateTimePicker field, and they want to input in ddmmyy format.

Using Visual Studio 2010 C# 4.0.

PC date time setting: GMT +08:00 dd-MMM-yy.

Assumed today date is 291014 (29-Oct-14).

CodeBehind:

DateTime inputDate;
// the WinForm allows user to input date not earlier than 2 years before today date and not more than 1 months from today date too.
//Assumed I input date as 261014 (26-Oct-14)
if(DateTime.TryParseExact(input, "ddMMyy", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"), System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out inputDate)) {
DateTime minDate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-24);//Assumed it is 29-Nov-14
DateTime maxDate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1);//Assumed it is 29-Oct-12

I tried many methods but none works (I have checked many threads/forums also).

//Method 1
if(inputDate >= minDate && inputDate <= maxDate)
return true

//Method 2: B return true but A ***always*** return false, Why??
if (inputDate >= minDate)
A = true;

C :: Program To Take Time And Date Typed By User And Increase It By 1 Minute

Mar 22, 2013

I'm having a problem with my homework. The task is to write a program that will take time and date typed by user, and increase it by 1 minute. I should write 3 functions - first calls second function that updates time and calls third function, if time is 00:00.Time update works, but date update does not.My whole written code:

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
struct DateAndTime {
struct date {
int day;
int month;
int year;

[code]....

I should check if inputs are numbers only, so I tried including isdigit function from ctype.h library, but that didn't work either, after I was trying it for a good hour or so, but I kinda rage quit that...

C++ :: Calculate Approximate Age Of User Based On Current Date And Their Birthday

Nov 23, 2012

I have an extra credit project where I'm supposed to calculate an approximate the user's age based on the current date and their birthday. My problem is that I am not getting the proper date and time. C++ keeps giving me some random date. I looked up c++ time format on the internet because this is extra credit and not in my book.

I am currently using dev C++ 4.9.9.2. Here is my current code :

// included libraries
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <time.h>
#define cls system("cls")
#define pauseOutput system("pause")
void printM(int x);
void age(int m, int d, int y, int &yearAge, int &monthAge, int &dayAge);

C++ :: Write Program That Uses Boost Library To Input String Date?

Apr 23, 2014

I'm trying to write a program that uses the Boost library to input a string date in the format mm/dd/year and outputs to the string its corresponding day of the week. I wrote the program that I thought would accomplish this, but it doesn't seem to work. Below is the code I wrote:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include "boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp"

[Code]....

When I compile this using codeblocks it gives me the error "In function `ZN5boost9date_time19month_str_to_ushortINS_9gregorian10greg_monthEEEtRKSs':|
C:Users
osaDesktop est3........Liboost_1_55_0oostdate_timedate_parsing.hpp|67|undefined reference to `boost::gregorian::greg_month::get_month_map_ptr()'". And it takes me to the file date_parsing.hpp and highlights line 67. I don't understand why this isn't working.

C++ :: Second User Name Input Is Being Skipped

Jan 1, 2014

In this simple end-of-chapter problem, the ages of two people are to be compared and determine who's older. The problem I'm experiencing is that the second user name input is being skipped and going straight to the second users age.

So while running the program it looks something like:

What is user ones name?
<input name>
How old are they?
<input age>
What is user twos name?
How old are they?
<input age>
<if statement result>

Here's my code:

Code: #include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int user_one_age;
int user_two_age;
string user_one_name;
string user_two_name;

C# :: TexBox User Input To Hex Value

Sep 2, 2012

So I've got this form that a user puts in a numeric value into a text box. This value then has to be placed into a byte string of data so that it can be transmitted over as a packet. Bellow is what I have so far:

Code:
Byte[] OUTBuffer = new byte[65];//Allocate output memory buffer
Byte[] INBuffer = new byte[65]; //Allocate input memory buffer

if (setmSpeed == true)
{
OUTBuffer[0] = 0; //Not used, must be set to 0
OUTBuffer[1] = 0x85; //Command mode

[Code] ....

I've put in red the area where I'm having issues. I've tried different methods and have not been able to get this working yet. It only works if I speciffy the value manually as with OUTBuffer[1] = 0x85;, but I want byte 2 of OUTBuffer[] to be set with what I put in the text box.
