a long int allows easy sorting in chronological order using this format: yyyymmdd
this is (year * 10000) + (month * 100) + day
huh?
i don't get it....that seems like a mathematical calculation only
i need to sort with the following sequence:
1.) Month
2.) Date
Then the latest staff who took leave would be displayed in ascending/descending order
convert the date fields to a single variable using the technique as described. or similar, if you prefer. Sort that field. It will be a lot easier than doing a double sort where you sort by month first and then by day.
struct Date
{
int month;
int day;
};
struct Employee
{
Date lastVacationDay;
long sortDate;
void convertDate(Date);
};
void Employee::convertDate(Date lastVacationDay)
{
sortDate = (lastVacationDay.month *100) + lastVacationDay.day;
}
int main()
{
//array of employees
Employee employees[10];
int i;
//fill array with data
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
cout << 'enter month of last vacation for this employee" << endl;
cin >> employees[i].lastVacationDay.month;
//etc. for day of last Vacation.
//convert Date data to sortDate to facilitate sorting
employees[i].convertDate(lastVacationDay);
}
//do bubble sort on employee[i].lastVacationDay.sortDate here
//display sorted array here
return0;
}
