Description
The purpose of this challenge is to use arrays and functions. This challenge calculates the day of the year given the nth day of the year.
Requirements
- Write a function string get_date(int day) that will return a string indicating the month and day of the year based on an integer input. For this function to return a string that is a combination of a month (a string) and a day (an integer), you will have to use theĀ to_string() function
string get_date(int day) { // month will represent an index into the months array // day_of_month will represent the resulting day // within the calculated month int day_of_month, month; // more code here // to use to_string(), see the compiler requirements below // to_string() is a library function // you do not need to create it return months[month] + " " + to_string(day_of_month); }
- In the function, declare a string array as below
string months[12] = { "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" };
- In the function, declare an int array as below
int days[12] = {31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31};
- In main, ask the user to enter an integer between 1 and 365
- Display to the user the month and day by calling the get_date() function. (See interaction)
Hints
Your get_date() function can be written-at minimum-with two accumulators, a while loop and a subtraction or two.
DO NOT USE
Any built-in date/time functions
Sample Interaction / Output
Enter the nth day of the year: 5 Day 5 is Jan 5 [run it again] Enter the nth day of the year: 59 Day 59 is Feb 28 [run it again] Enter the nth day of the year: 365 Day 365 is Dec 31
