Thread: Getting program and overload constructors to work

I need help getting my program to run when the user enters in one of the two choices to print out the results. Any suggestions on how to add my user prompts?

Prompt:
Create a Date class with the following capabilities:
a) Output the date in multiple formats such as
MM/DD/YYYY
June 14, 1992


b) Use overloaded constructors to create Date objects initialized with dates of the formats in part a).

You should only have 3 member data: integer month, integer day, and integer year. Also, you should have at least 2 constructors and 2 functions in your Date.cpp.

Code:

Date::Date ( int mm, int dd, int yy )
{   // check mm, dd, and yy and save them into month, day, and year member data.
     …
}
 
Date::Date ( string mstr, int dd, int yy )
{   // check and convert mstr, dd, and yy and save them 
    //       into month, day, and year member data.
     …
}
 
void Date::print ( )
{   //  print the date in MM/DD/YYYY
     …
}
 
void Date::printFullDate ( )
{   //  print the date in long date such as
    //                June 24, 2002
     …
}

/////////////
You also need to create 3 get functions and 3 set functions for the member data.

Requirements:
1. 3 files: Date.h, Date.cpp-> class implementation, test.cpp-> test file
Sample Run:
3 choices for the user to pick:
Enter 1 for format: mm/dd/yyyy
Enter 2 for format: month dd, yyyy
Enter 3 to exit:

Choice: 1 //user input

//user inputs the information
Enter month (1-12): 1
Enter day of month: 5
Enter year: 2005

Mm/dd/yyyy: 1/5/2005 //gets checked for valid date.
//////////////
Enter 1 for format: mm/dd/yyyy
Enter 2 for format: month dd, yyyy
Enter 3 to exit:

Choice:2
Enter month name: May
Enter day of month: 10
Enter year:2010
Month dd, yyyy: May 10, 2010

Enter 1 for format: mm/dd/yyyy
Enter 2 for format: month dd, yyyy
Enter 3 to exit:

Choice:3

Here is the code I have so far:
date.h

Code:

#indef DATE_H
#define DATE_H


#include <string>
using std::string;


class Date
{
	public:
		DATE();
		DATE(int,int);
		DATE(string,int,int);
		
		void setDay(int);
		void setMonth(int);
		void print()const;
		
		void printDDDYYYY() const;
		void printMMDDYY() const;
		void printMonthDDYYYY() const;
		
		~Date();
		private:
			int month;
			int day;
			int year;
			
			int chckDay(int) const;
			int daysInMonth(int) const;
			bool isLeapYear() const;
			void setMMDDFromDDD(int);

cout<<'\n';


date1.printMonthDDYYYY();
date2.printMonthDDYYYY();
date3.printMonthDDYYYY();
date4.printMonthDDYYYY();
cout<<endl;
return 0;
}

Where do I put that code in?

I don't think it's a good practice either to use using directives inside header files.

I forgot to mention that my professor gave us a head start to fill in and wants to adjust like the way it needs to look like. sorry
