Oh, no, wait. That was perfectly clear. You just didn't read it, or if you did, you didn't have enough respect for the board and its members to follow the rules.Quote:
*READ THIS FIRST* Guidelines to the Board and hints for help (10-13-2002 until 11-12-2012)
2. Don't ask people to do all your work for you, See the announcement on Homework below this one for more info about what is considered acceptable.
Homework Policy:
The purpose of these board is not for other people to do your homework for you. Try things out work on your own, homework has a purpose. If you still have trouble with a specific piece of code or concept please feel free to ask. But please do not ask people to do your entire homework for you, it simply annoys people most of the time.
For an example check out this thread written by Prelude. Thanks Prelude.
If you have any questions about what is approprate, or anything else, please E-mail or PM me and I'll be happy to answer them.
Thank you

September 24, 2003
etc?
Or just a subset of formats?
Decide on the format(s) you want to validate.
Break the date into it's components -- year, month, day
Check the day vs month for the proper number of days. Check the month for illegal value. Check 2nd month vs year for leapyear.
