Display day, month, year in different format

Hi!
I'm trying to write a program that will take in three numbers (day, month, year), and display them in different format (MM/DD/YYYY; Month in words, DD, YYYY; and DD Month in words YYYY).
Here's what I have so far, I can't figure out what's wrong. :(

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;


const int NUM_MONTHS = 12;
const int NAMESIZE = 10;

class Date
{
private:
        int month, day, year;
        char names[NUM_MONTHS][NAMESIZE];
     
public:


Date::Date
{ setNames(); }

Date::Date(int m, int d, int y)
{
      setMonth(m);
      setDay(d);
      setYear(y);
      setNames();
}



void Date::setNames()
{
    strcpy(names[0], "January");
    strcpy(names[1], "Feburary");
    strcpy(names[2], "March");
    strcpy(names[3], "April");
    strcpy(names[4], "May");
    strcpy(names[5], "June");
    strcpy(names[6], "July");
    strcpy(names[7], "August");
    strcpy(names[8], "September");
    strcpy(names[9], "October");
    strcpy(names[10], "November");
    strcpy(names[11], "December");
}

void Date::setMonth(int m)
{
    if (m >= 1 && m <= 12)
    month=m;
    else
    {
        cout << m << "is not a valid"
        << "value for the month.\n";
        exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
}

void Date::setDay(int d)
{
    if (d >= 1 && d <= 31)
    day=d;
    else
    {
        cout << d << "is not a valid"
        << "value for the month.\n";
        exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
}

void Date::setYear(int y)
{
    if (y <= 1)
    year=y;
    else
    {
        cout << y << "is not a valid"
        << "value for the month.\n";
        exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
}

void Date::showDate1()
{
    cout << month << "/"
    << day << "/"
    << year << endl;
}
       
void Date::showDate2()
{
    cout << names[month+1]
    << " " << day << ", "
    << year << endl;
}   

void Date::showDate3()
{
    cout << day << " "
    << month << " "
    << year << endl;
}

int Date::getMonth() const
{
      return month;
}

int Date::getDay() const
{
      return day;
}

int Date::getYear() const
{
      return year;
}

};


int main()
{
    int number;
    Date show;
    Date month;
    Date day;
    Date year;
       
    cout << "What is the month? ";
    cin >> number;
    month.setMonth(number);
   
    cout << "What is the day? ";
    cin >> number; 
    day.setDay(number);
   
    cout << "What is the year? ";
    cin >> number; 
    year.setYear(number);

    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

On line 19 (I bolded it), it tells me "expected unqualified-id before { token". I tried searching through this forums for similar problems, but none of them applies to me (some I dont quite understand - still new to C++).

And in main (I boded them also), I can't quite figure out how I should fix the problem.


Thank you so much!

probably

Code:

---

Date::Date()
{ setNames(); }

But why not to have names as static member? Why to copy all this strings to each instance of the class?

> Date::
You don't need the class scope on all the functions you declare within the class itself.

You also only need one Date variable inside main, which you set the day, month, year for.

I haven't gotten to the chapter on static member yet. But, I'll look into that and see if I can make this work somehow.

Thank you for your reply!

Thank you guys!
I fixed the errors and decided to just input data manually. How do I display the final product?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;


const int NUM_MONTHS = 12;
const int NAMESIZE = 10;

class Date
{
private:
        int month, day, year;
        char names[NUM_MONTHS][NAMESIZE];
     
public:



Date::Date(int m, int d, int y)
{
      setMonth(m);
      setDay(d);
      setYear(y);
      setNames();
}



void Date::setNames()
{
    strcpy(names[0], "January");
    strcpy(names[1], "Feburary");
    strcpy(names[2], "March");
    strcpy(names[3], "April");
    strcpy(names[4], "May");
    strcpy(names[5], "June");
    strcpy(names[6], "July");
    strcpy(names[7], "August");
    strcpy(names[8], "September");
    strcpy(names[9], "October");
    strcpy(names[10], "November");
    strcpy(names[11], "December");
}

void Date::setMonth(int m)
{
    if (m >= 1 && m <= 12)
    month=m;
    else
    {
        cout << m << "is not a valid"
        << "value for the month.\n";
        exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
}

void Date::setDay(int d)
{
    if (d >= 1 && d <= 31)
    day=d;
    else
    {
        cout << d << "is not a valid"
        << "value for the month.\n";
        exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
}

void Date::setYear(int y)
{
    if (y <= 1)
    year=y;
    else
    {
        cout << y << "is not a valid"
        << "value for the month.\n";
        exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
}

void Date::showDate1()
{
    cout << month << "/"
    << day << "/"
    << year << endl;
}
       
void Date::showDate2()
{
    cout << names[month+1]
    << " " << day << ", "
    << year << endl;
}   

void Date::showDate3()
{
    cout << day << " "
    << month << " "
    << year << endl;
}

int Date::getMonth() const
{
      return month;
}

int Date::getDay() const
{
      return day;
}

int Date::getYear() const
{
      return year;
}

};


int main()
{
    int number;
Date today (12, 25, 2006);
today.showDate1();

today.setMonth(12);
today.setDay(25);
today.setYear(2006);

today.showDate2();
today.showDate3();

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

Thank you!

names[month+1]
probably month-1?

Why not to use std:strings instead of C-strings?
And vector instead of array?
