Question

Write a program that prompts the user to enter the date in mm/dd/yyyy format. The program should use a single input statement to accept the date, storing each piece of the date into an appropriate variable. Demonstrate that the input was obtained correctly by outputting the month, day, and year to the screen. Sample output: Enter (date (mm/dd/yyyy): 02/08/2011 Month entered: 2 Day entered: 8 Year entered: 2011 Challenge: Although the user entered 02, C++ drops the 0 as insignificant when the program outputs the value. Revise your program to always output two-digit months and days. For example, 02 should output as 02 and 10 should output as 10 (not 010).

Answer 1

#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main(){
   int mm,dd,yyyy;
   char separator;
   cout<<"Enter (date (mm/dd/yyyy): ";
   cin>>dd>>separator>>mm>>separator>>yyyy;
   cout<<"Month entered: "<<setw(2)<<setfill('0')<<mm<<endl;
   cout<<"Day entered: "<<setw(2)<<setfill('0')<<dd<<endl;
   cout<<"Year entered: "<<yyyy<<endl;
   return 0;
}

Enter (date (mm/dd/yyyy): 02/08/2011 Month entered: 08 Day entered: 02 Year entered: 2011 -----------==== = ===-------- ----- Process exited after 5.269 seconds with return value o Press any key to continue ...
