C++ :: Input Date And Get Day Of The Week
Oct 23, 2014
How can I check for an invalid date when I run the program? I am trying to enter a conditional statement that checks for a valid or invalid date.
Programing Question: Write a program that inputs a date (e.g., July 4, 2008) and outputs the day of the week that corresponds to that date. Here is what I Have. The program runs. I need it to loop around.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const int JANUARY = 1;
const int FEBRUARY = 2;
const int MARCH = 3;
const int APRIL = 4;

I'm just starting coding and I just want it to input a date, then output a day of the week.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int startday = 0, sm = 1, sd = 1, sy = 2000, cm = 0, cd = 0, cy = 0;
cout << "Please enter the current month, day, and year: ";

i'm making a program that, given a person's birthdate or any other date, will display the day of the week of the person was born.
There is this part where it says "use a switch statement to make this calculation, If desired month is 12, add the number of days for November, if desired month is 11 add the number of days for october....
So it's suppose to start with "case 12 :...
I can't figure out what to write for the statement....

I'm writing the program below to take an integer input for temperature and display a cheesy message for different ranges for each day of the week.
I tried using two if statements, the first to determine if the input is valid, and the else display that it was invalid and to try again.
The second set of if (if else) statements would evaluate a number input and display the cheesy message based on the value, or if it was out of range, to make you re input that days temperature.
I understand that the else statement is linked to the closest if statement, unless brackets are added to prevent this. I thought my brackets were correct, but I keep getting [Error]'else' without previous if'. The red lines are the if and else statement I'd like to be linked, and tried to do so by enclosing the 2nd if statement in brackets.
The assignment doesn't require the error checking, but if I don't use some form of it I believe it will just loop. Again I have to use the last 4 lines due to instructors rules, and have to use scanf and not strings or arrays.
This program will ask the user what the temperature will be for each day of the week. The integer input from the keyboard will be tested in a series of IF tests and a message will be printed depending on the temperature.
Code] ....
#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 100
#define MIN 0
int main() {
int day = 1;
int temp;

Write a C++ program that does the following:
Prompt the user to enter a day of the week as M (or m), T, W, R, F, S, and U for Monday through Sunday respectively. The user may enter an upper or lower case letter.
When the user enters a character, the program will echo the letter and output the name of the day of the week.
Provide an error trap that reads something like "you have entered an invalid letter; program aborting." Suggestion: use a switch statement with the error trap as the default condition. it is not necessary to prompt for multiple inputs.
So I know how to get the program to echo back the letter and everything. What I am a little confused about is: will I have to define all the letters as their respective day? eg. make M== Monday. And if I do have to do that how would I get it to accept Upper and Lower case letters and recognize that that letter is == monday ect. ect.
Also my main problem is the switch statement as the error trap. I have never used the switch statement, but I know what they do. I just don't really understand how I would use it for an error trap. Am I suppose to just make a case for every other letter in the alphabet other then M T W R F S and U? Even if I do that then what if the user enters a number instead of a letter?

How do you do the input validation for date? I used:
char rec.date[SIZE];
cout<<"date"<<endl;
cin.getline(date,SIZE);
I want the user to write in this format (mm/dd/yy)

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;
}

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 ?

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;

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:

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.

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.

I have an assignment in which i must create a program which prompts for user input of current and birth date, which will compare said dates and output if its your birthday or not. I've completed a large portion of it, but cannot figure out how to get the user input of month as an integer such a 2 into February.

I have two date/time structures which I'm populating, but when I populate the second one it sets the same values in the first. This is what I've got so far
tm *FirstDate = gmtime(&now);
tm *SecondDate = gmtime(&now);
cout <<"Enter your first date in the format dd/mm/yyyy" << endl <<">";

My program is supposed to get ask the user a date (MM DD YYYY) and its supposed to tell them what day of the week that specific date is. Well, I was told to check for leap years, and if the Feb 29 is a non-leap year, its supposed to cout an invalid statement and tells the user to try again. My problem is that its not looping through only when its Feb 29 2015 for example.I have been trying to find a solution and I cant find one so far? Like, I said, it works for other dates, just not checking and looping Feb 29 2014 or 2015, etc?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const int JANUARY = 1;
const int FEBRUARY = 2;

I am writing a program that takes the Month, Day, and Year inputted from the user and outputs the day of the week (Ex. "February 2, 2014 falls on a Sunday"). I got it to print out the date but I can't figure out how to output the day. Would I be using the ctime function?

I am trying write a void function which will tally up the totals for each day and then display the most profitable day of the week.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
struct Menu_Items {
string Item;
double Price;
[Code] .....
The void function must pass as a parameter a pointer to the first element of the Orders_Placed array. I have attempted to write this. But I do not think I am even close. I need to have 7 double variables that hold the totals for each day of the week. Those are the MonTotals , TueTotals , etc....
How do I get these totals for each day?
How do I fix this void function so that is displays the most profitable day. Also, would the function call be Biggest_Profit(Orders_Placed)??
The GetPrice function provides the price given a menu item.

I have a fun question that is an end of an inherited class. I am trying to return the day of the week using time structures. However, I cannot get the correct date from two different structures, even if they are declared as different structures. So, when I check the number of the week, the two provided to check with are the same.
point is: They keep coming up as the same.
bool Weekly::occurs_on(int year, int month, int day) {
struct tm * chec ;
time_t clock1 ;
time(&clock1);

I wanted to take the averages of the whole week and output a print statement. I've tired few ways this like assigning "temp" a pointer, or in each if statement assigning temp to a new variable like a, b , c etc. Then adding them all up at the end and dividing by 7. My issue is I am unclear how to store the number typed for each if statement while the program is running, then have it compute the simple equation. The code in question is below:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
int i, j = 0, temp = 0;
for (i=1; i<=7; i++) {
j++;

Write the definition of the class dayType that implements the day of the week in a program. The class dayType should store the day, such as Sunday for Sunday. The program should be able to perform the following operations on an object of type dayType:
a. Set the day
b. Print the day
c. Return the day
d. Return the next day
e. Return the previous day
f. Calculate and return the day by adding certain days to the current day. For example, if the current day is Monday and we add 4 days, the day to be returned is Friday. Similarly, if today is Tuesday and we add 13 days, the day to be returned is Monday.
g. Add the appropriate constructors
Write the definitions of the functions to implement the operations for the class dayType.
My code:
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
string my_Day[7] = { "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday" };
class dayType
[Code] .....
And here are the error messages that I get:
Line 23 error: prototype for 'void dayType::setDay(int)' does not match any in class 'dayType'
Line 11 error: candidate is: void dayType::setDay()
Line 36 error: prototype for 'void dayType::getDay(int) const' does not match any in class 'dayType'
Line 13 error: candidate is: void dayType::getDay()
I know this is probably a really easy mistake but I am new to Programming and I have changed this code for days to no avail.

I want to compare dates of first week of every year input by user to determine that what was the day on 02/01/1998 compare to 02/01/2014, or 04/01/2001 compare to 04/01/2003.
I want to compare from 01/01/1997 , 07/01/2014.
For example user enter first date 04/01/2002 and other date 04/01/2003, then the program show that there was tuesday on 04/01/2002 and monday on 04/01/2003.

I have a datatable which comprises values from 1st January to march, something like this:
DataTable datatable = new DataTable("Employee");
datatable.Columns.Add("Date", typeof(string));
datatable.Columns.Add("Employee", typeof(string));
datatable.Columns.Add("Job1", typeof(double));
datatable.Columns.Add("Job2", typeof(double));
datatable.Rows.Add(new Object[] { "1/4/2013", "A", 1.3, 2 });
[Code] ....
The result should look like this for Job1:
Employee 1/7-1/13 1/14-1/20 1/21-1/27 1/28-2/3 and so on...
A sum of values for this 7 days
B
C
D
I want to add all the values of Job1 for each employee in a time range which is one week starting from monday to sunday. How can I group the Job1 values week wise and store them in another datatable.
