Thread: Two Easy Questions

you mean like 'if' statemetns or switch?

you can do it with 'if' statements.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using  namespace std;
int main() {

enum Days {Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday};

int x, DayOff;

cout <<"What day would you like off (0-6)? ";
cin >> x;
if(x >= 0 && x <= 6)
{
  DayOff = Days(x);
}
else 
{
  cout << "PLease input a number between 0 - 6." << endl;
}

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

EDIT:
I dont know how to pring the date, you could make function that does that like

Code:

void Days(int day)
{
  if(day == 0)
  { 
     cout << "Monday" << endl;
  }
  if(day == 1)
  {
     cout << "Tuesday" << endl;
  }
  if(day == 2)
  { 
     cout << "Wednesday" << endl;
  }
  if(day == 3)
  {
      cout << "Thursday" << endl;
   }
  if(day == 4)
  {
     cout << "Friday" << endl;
  }
  if( day == 5)
  {
     cout << "Saturday" << endl;
  }
  if(day == 6)
  {
     cout << "Sunday" << endl;
  }

}

and you would delete the enum thing an replace it with that^

Please try again!" and stop from going on. How would I do this?

Yes there is, and you guessed its name correctly, how 'bout that. It does however take an int parameter that functions in the same manner as the return value from main.
