addressbook

**Fatima Rizwan** · 11-27-2009

i have created a class ov date in address book ,, i want the the days and months to be checked ,,whether for a specific month the days are in limits are not
so i have done this thing in the print function,, here is the code

Code:

	switch(month)
	{
	 case 1:
		if (day>31)
		{
		day=day-31;
		month=month+1;} //so if the days are greater then 31 so i want it to switch //to next case,, but i dun know how to do this
		else
		cout<<"January-";

	      break;

Checking for valid dates is different from date arithmetic. Which one are you asking about?

**C_ntua** · 11-27-2009

In a switch statement every case is examined, except if you break out with someway (like with the break statement)

Code:

switch(month)
	{
	 case 1:
		if (day>31)
		{
		   day=day-31;
		   month=month+1;
                } else {		
		   cout<<"January-";
                   break;
                }
	   case 2:
                ...

So, if is day is >31 it will do "month+=1" and then it will go to case 2. Well, month == 2 so it wil also do case 2. If day is <=31 it will print "January" and then break, terminating the switch statement.

My code or your code? Seeing them again I actually think that you meant to write what I wrote but messed it up a bit. Your corrected code is below (with red)

Code:

	switch(month)
	{
	 case 1:
		if (day>31)
		{
		day=day-31;
		month=month+1;} //so if the days are greater then 31 so i want it to switch //to next case,, but i dun know how to do this
		else {
		cout<<"January-";
              
	      break;}

The way you had it it would always break. So it won't go on the next case...

ohk thnks,,

i have created an Addressbook ,,in which i want to add the functionality that , according to user's will,, i will print the addressbook,, by their name ,, or by according to there Date of birth (month )
so any suggestions,, how to print according to birth month,,

**Fatima Rizwan** · 11-28-2009

like the person who's born in february will be abv the person who born in march

First of all, what if somebody enters month=1, day=50. Then you will print that he is actually "February 19th"? Isn't that a bad idea? You should simply print "Day: Error". Because what if the user misstyped, which is probably the case??
Of course, there are cases that you may want that functionality, just make sure this is your case.

So you want to sort them by name or by month.
If you represent monts by int then just print the one with the smallest. If you don't, then you can have a translation function that does

Code:

int translateMonth(const char* monthName)
{
    if (strcmp(monthName, "February") == 0)
        return 1;
    else if (..)
        ....
}

or you can simply add on your Date struct, if you have one:

Code:

char* monthName;
char* monthValue;

If they are on the same date then you can also check the day as well.

But sorting by name is more difficult, it is strange that you are asking about the month...

  cout << "Day " << testDay << " invalid. Set to day 1.\n";

  return 1;  // leave object in consistent state if bad value

 } // end function checkDay

Here is the code for date,
