Thread: control flow question?

I have to make the following program: the user must input day and month, and the program to display which season is with words "winter" "spring" "summer" fall"

What i do is

Code:

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

int main()

{
    int day, month;
    cin >> day >> "Please enter a date:\n";
    cin >> month >> "now enter a month:\n";

    switch (month)
    {
    case 1 : cout << "winter"; break;
    case 2 : cout << "winter"; break;
    case 3 : if (day<=19)
        {cout << "winter";
                else << "spring"}; break;
    }


return 0;

}

where i fail?is this a right approach?

Thanks a lot, i've solved the problem
