Question

You will be developing a program that determines if a date is between a start and end date.

Ask the user for a starting and ending date in the form of YYYY MM DD.

Then ask the user for a date in the same form. If the date is between the starting and ending date, print "IN RANGE", otherwise print "OUT OF RANGE".

Example

Enter start date: 2017 1 24
Enter end date  : 2019 1 24
Enter date      : 2018 1 5
IN RANGE

Enter start date: 2017 1 24
Enter end date  : 2019 1 24
Enter date      : 1952 7 16
OUT OF RANGE

Answer 1

Since you have not mentioned the language of your preference, I am providing the code in C++.

CODE

===============

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

bool isDateInRange(int day, int month, int year, int startDay, int startMonth, int startYear, int endDay, int endMonth, int endYear){

int entryDate = (year * 10000) + (month * 100) + day;

int startDate = (startYear * 10000) + (startMonth * 100) + startDay;

int endDate = (endYear * 10000) + (endMonth * 100) + endDay;

if (entryDate >= startDate && entryDate <= endDate){

return true;

}

else{

return false;

}

}

int main() {

int startDay, startMonth, startYear, endDay, endMonth, endYear;

int day, month, year;

cout << "Enter start date: ";

cin >> startYear >> startMonth >> startDay;

cout << "Enter end date: ";

cin >> endYear >> endMonth >> endDay;

cout << "Enter date: ";

cin >> year >> month >> day;

if (isDateInRange(day, month, year, startDay, startMonth, startYear, endDay, endMonth, endYear) == 1) {

cout << "IN RANGE";

} else {

cout << "OUT OF RANGE";

}

}
