    Can someone help me with how I should go about how the inputted date is stored? Also, what I need to do to compute the century and year in part (c) of this problem? I would greatly appreciate any additional help on this.

    You're still missing a semicolon and stuff. Let's see your latest code.

    Start with

    Code:
    scanf ("%d","%d","%d",&day,&month,&year);
    printf( "%d %d %d\n", day, month, year );

    Then go on to
    Code:
    scanf ("%d","%d","%d",&day,&month,&year);
    M = (26 * 10)-2) /10;
    printf( "%d %d %d %d\n", day, month, year, M );
    Add the rest of the rules for your calculation one variable at a time until your program is complete.

    scanf ("%d","%d","%d",&day,&month,&year);
    Ahem. You're passing scanf() too many arguments. Perhaps you mean
    Code:
    scanf("%d/%d/%d", &day, &month, &year);
    This code
    Code:
    M = (26 * 10)-2) /10;
    is still completely wrong.

    That's why I want to see the latest code.
