    Create a class called date and a child class called time

    Hello everyone, I am trying to learn c++ and I am having a very hard time understanding this problem.

    I am supposed to create a class called date that has the following requirements:

    3 constructors
    1 destructor
    getMonth
    getDay
    getYear
    setMonth
    setDay
    setYear
    A function print with no arguments
    An equality overload
    An assignment overload
    A copy constructor

    For the child time it must have

    3 constructors
    1 destructor
    getHours
    getMinutes
    getSeconds
    setHours
    setMinutes
    setSeconds
    A function print with no arguments
    An equality overload
    An assignment overload
    A copy constructor

    I know how to do do the simple code like getHours or getDate or setHours etc. However, I am not exactly sure where to go for the 3 constructors, equality overload, assignment overload and the copy constructor. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks

    Make them take different formats of date/times.
