    what is wrong with this code?

    What is wrong with this code, i've explained below what each function should do. I'm going crazy here and cant find the problem. It wont run. I've attached also what the ouput should be.

    the void setdate function is suppose to validate parameters and sets all data components. If parameters are out of range, defaults will be used. The function setString() to set up theName.

    int leap year function returns 1 if true, and 0 if false

    void setString(const char *str) this function dynamicaly allocates memory

    Date.....The constructor has four args. Its also default constructor. The function calls setDate() to init the components. (did i call the function right?)

    ~Date() deallocates memory

    void print() displays the output
    Code:
    //header file - cannot be modified
    #ifndef _DATE_H_
    #define _DATE_H_
    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // DATE1.H - DATE CLASS DECLARATION            //
    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <iomanip.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <assert.h>
    
    int leapYear(int year);	//returns: 1 (leap year), 0 (not leap year)
    
    enum {MM = 1};			//default month 		
    enum {DD = 1};			//default day
    enum {YY = 1};			//default year
    enum {MAX_YY = 99999};		//maximum year
    enum {MAX_LINE = 1024};	//maximum size of input line
    #define NA ""			//default name
    const int days [] [13] =
    {
    {0,31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31},	//non-leap year
    {0,31,29,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31}	//leap year
    }
    
    const char *months[] =
    {"Invalid", "January", "February", "March" ,
     "April", "May", "June", "July", "August",
     "September", "October", "November", "December"
    };
    
    class Date
    {
    public:
    Date(int m = MM, int d = DD, int y = YY, const char *name = NA);
    void setDate(int m, int d, int y, const char *name = NA);
    ~Date();			//destructor
    void print() const;	//display data
    
    
    private:
    int theMonth;
    int theDay;
    int theYear;
    char *theName;
    char date_name[MAX_LINE];
    	
    void setString(const char *str);	//utility function
    };
    #endif
    
    // implementation
    #include "date.h"
    
    Date::Date(int m, int d, int y, const char *name)
    {	
    setDate(m, d, y, name);
    }
    Date::~Date()
    {
    delete [] theName;
    }
    void Date::setDate(int m, int d, int y, const char *name)
    {
    theMonth = (m >= 1 && m <= 12) ? m : MM;
    theDay = (d >= 1 && d <= 31) ? d : DD;
    theYear = (y >= 0 && y <= MAX_YY) ? y : YY;
    	
    setString(theName);	 
    
    }
    void Date::print() const
    {
        if (theDay > days[leapYear(theYear)] [theMonth]) 
            theDay = DD;
            cout << endl << "You entered date" << endl;
        if ('\0' != date_name[0])
            cout << date_name << ": ";
            cout << months[theMonth] << ' ' << theDay << ", " <<
    theYear << endl;
    
    }
    void Date::setString(const char *str)
    {
    theName = new char[strlen(str) + 1];
    assert(theName != 0);
    strcpy(theName, str);
    }
    int leapYear(int year)
    {
    if (year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 || year % 400 == 0) 
    	return 1;
    	else
    	return 0;
    }
    
    // main test driver
    //date1tst.cpp - test driver to test Date class
    #include "date.h"
    
    int main()
    {
    	Date d1;
    	d1.print();
    
    	Date d2(12,27,1992, "d2(12,27,1992)");
    	d2.print();
    	cout << endl;
    
    	Date d3(0,99,10000, "d3(0,99,10000)");
    	d3.print();
    	cout << endl;
    
    	d1.setDate(2,28,1992, "d1.setDate(2,28,1992)");
    	d1.print();
    	cout << endl;
    
    	Date d4(2,29,2000, "d4(2.29,2000)");
    	d4.print();
    	cout << endl;
    
    	Date d5(2,29, 2001, "d5(2,29,2001)");
    	d5.print();
    	cout << endl;
    
    	return 0;
    }
    The output should be this
    January 1, 1
    d2(12,27,1992):  December 27, 1992
    d3(0,99,10000):  January 1, 1
    d1.setdate(2,28,1992): February 28, 1992
    d4(2,29,2000): February 29, 2000
    d5(2, 29, 2001): February 1, 2001

    Hey, stop your griping.

    You should indicate what errors you are getting. And document
    your code better or I'll never hire you.

    1. You ommited a semicolon in your header file; and,
    2. You are attempting to modify an item declared with const type
    in print().

    hth,
