check for number of days as a fuction?

hey guys;

im pretty new at c++ and thus need help.

Im looking to do a day check for a program i have wrote and it needs to validate the date and if necessary ask the user to enter it again. logic checks are needed i.e. day and month are consistent.

it at all possible to write this as a fuction maybe?

cheers scronge

I dont get it :(

Anyway to answer the question, here is a start. It checks that the number of days is appropriate for the month, however does not cater for leap years.

Code:

---

//uses a date object for simplicity
bool checkDate( const Date& date )
{
    static int daysInMonth[] = { 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 };

    if( date.day <= 0 || date.day > daysInMonth[ date.month -1 ] )
    {
        cout << "bad date, try again" << endl;
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}
