Thread: Help with Days of the Week!!!!

I have an assignment due, and I am completely lost. I haven't taken C++ in years and now I am having to learn it in OOP, and though I remember some things, there is a lot I do not, and I am a total noob so still trying to learn. But what I am trying to do is write a program that has the user enter a day, and then uses that data to add one day to it, subtract one day too it, and then have the user enter a number, and take that number and add it to the day giving you what day it would be. I have gotten this far, but am stuck. I have no idea how I am supposed to add or subtract from a string array to get the days. Please Help!!!!!

Code:

#ifndef DOW_H
#define DOW_H
#include<string>
using namespace std; 

class Dow
{
private: 
	string day;

public:
	Dow(string);
	
	void setDay(string); 
	string getDay( ); 
	void printDay( ) const; 
	void plusOneDay( ); 
	string minusOneDay( ); 
	string addDay( );
};

Dow::Dow(string Day)
{ 
	day = Day;
};

void Dow::setDay(string Day)
{
	day = Day;
}

string Dow::getDay( )
{
	return day;
}

void Dow::plusOneDay( )
{

}	



#endif

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include "Dow.h"
using namespace std; 


void main( )
{

	Dow myDay[7] = {"Sunday", "Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday",
		                         "Thursday","Friday","Saturday"};
	
	
		
	
 







	system("pause"); 

}

You can't "add or subtract from a string array" at all, let alone to do anything useful, so that approach (such as it was) won't work. You can add or subtract from numbers, so you should explore that approach.

I will have to look into the Enum......that is something I was never taught, though looks like it might be the key I am looking for, if I can just figure out how it works. Thanks for the advice.
