addressbook

i have created a class ov date in address book ,, i want the the days and months to be checked ,,whether for a specific month the days are in limits are not
so i have done this thing in the print function,, here is the code

Code:

---

        switch(month)
        {
        case 1:
                if (day>31)
                {
                day=day-31;
                month=month+1;} //so if the days are greater then 31 so i want it to switch //to next case,, but i dun know how to do this
                else
                cout<<"January-";

              break;

Checking for valid dates is different from date arithmetic. Which one are you asking about?

In a switch statement every case is examined, except if you break out with someway (like with the break statement)

Code:

---

switch(month)
        {
        case 1:
                if (day>31)
                {
                  day=day-31;
                  month=month+1;
                } else {               
                  cout<<"January-";
                  break;
                }
          case 2:
                ...

---

So, if is day is >31 it will do "month+=1" and then it will go to case 2. Well, month == 2 so it wil also do case 2. If day is <=31 it will print "January" and then break, terminating the switch statement.

i just want to check if the date is valid for a specific month,,

yah exactly i want it to switch it to nxt month ,,,But its not working,,,

My code or your code? Seeing them again I actually think that you meant to write what I wrote but messed it up a bit. Your corrected code is below (with red)

Code:

---

        switch(month)
        {
        case 1:
                if (day>31)
                {
                day=day-31;
                month=month+1;} //so if the days are greater then 31 so i want it to switch //to next case,, but i dun know how to do this
                else {
                cout<<"January-";
             
              break;}

The way you had it it would always break. So it won't go on the next case...

ohk thnks,,

i have created an Addressbook ,,in which i want to add the functionality that , according to user's will,, i will print the addressbook,, by their name ,, or by according to there Date of birth (month )
so any suggestions,, how to print according to birth month,,

like the person who's born in february will be abv the person who born in march

First of all, what if somebody enters month=1, day=50. Then you will print that he is actually "February 19th"? Isn't that a bad idea? You should simply print "Day: Error". Because what if the user misstyped, which is probably the case??
Of course, there are cases that you may want that functionality, just make sure this is your case.

So you want to sort them by name or by month.
If you represent monts by int then just print the one with the smallest. If you don't, then you can have a translation function that does

Code:

---

int translateMonth(const char* monthName)
{
    if (strcmp(monthName, "February") == 0)
        return 1;
    else if (..)
        ....
}

---

or you can simply add on your Date struct, if you have one:

Code:

---

char* monthName;
char* monthValue;

---

If they are on the same date then you can also check the day as well.

But sorting by name is more difficult, it is strange that you are asking about the month...

Code:

---

class Date
{

public:
  void setDate();
  void printDate();


private:
  int month;
  int day;
  int year;
  int checkDay( int ) const;

};


  void Date::setDate()
  {
  int mn,yr,dy;

  cout<<"Enter Month:";
  cin>>mn;

    if ( mn > 0 && mn <= 12 )  // validate the month
    month = mn;

    else
    {                    // invalid month set to 1
    month = 1;
    cout << "Month " << mn << " invalid. Set to month 1.\n";
    }

  cout<<"Enter Year:";
  cin>>yr;

    if ( yr> 1970 && yr<=2009 )
    year = yr;

    else
    {
    year= 1990;
    cout<< "Year "<< yr << " invalid. Set to year 1990.\n";
    }

  cout<<"Enter Day:";
  cin>>dy;                // should validate yr
  day = checkDay( dy );      // validate the day
  cout << endl;

}




  void Date::printDate()
  {
        switch(month)
        {
        case 1:
              cout<<"January ";
              break;
        case 2:
              cout<<"February ";
              break;
        case 3:
              cout<<"March ";
              break;
        case 4:
              cout<<"April ";
              break;
        case 5:
              cout<<"May ";
              break;
        case 6:
              cout<<"June ";
              break;
        case 7:
            cout<<"July ";
            break;
        case 8:
            cout<<"August ";
            break;
        case 9:
            cout<<"September ";
            break;
        case 10:
            cout<<"October ";
            break;
        case 11:
            cout<<"November ";
            break;
        case 12:
            cout<<"December ";
            break;
    }//end switch

  cout << day <<", "<< year << endl;

}




  int Date::checkDay( int testDay ) const
  {
  static const int daysPerMonth[ 13 ] =
          { 0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 };


  if ( testDay > 0 && testDay <= daysPerMonth[ month ] )
      return testDay;


  if ( month == 2 && testDay == 29 && ( year % 400 == 0
          || ( year % 4 == 0  && year % 100 != 0  ) ) )
            return testDay;

  cout << "Day " << testDay << " invalid. Set to day 1.\n";

  return 1;  // leave object in consistent state if bad value

 } // end function checkDay
