C++ easy code help

[Skie]

is this the right format?

bool year = true;
while (year) {
year1 > year 2
}?

}?

That will just loop infinitely. You don't need to loop for that, you just call getYear(date1) > getYear(date2).

Either your teacher is awful or you need to switch majors to philosophy with a quickness if its this late in the semester and you're making those mistakes.

This is evidence your teacher has not even taught you to pseudocode yet and that's very unfortunate. The point was that you should compare the years first, then the months if the years are equal, then the days of the month if the months are equal, etc. etc.

More practically you'd save the timestamp returned from the library function internally and just to an integer comparison but I'm guessing that's maybe not what your teacher wants you to do.

man i am so lost in this project ><

i'll reply back in a bit see what i come up with. should have posted this earler lol due in 2.5 hours

Another programming tip: start early rather than later. So many unforeseen problems can surface, especially in special cases that you possibly didn't consider when you first wrote your code. And if you aren't using an awesome compiler like IntelliJ, you could potentially be missing something as little as a ; and not even know it.

[Skie]

he has us using borland compiler

[Correction]

Here's the pseudocode, I didn't really give it more than a quick glance so it may not be 100% semantically correct but you should get the idea.

before

if (this object's year == input object's year)
{
	if (this object's month == input object's month)
	{
		return (this object's day of the month < input object's day of the month);
	}
	return (this object's month < input object's month);
}

return (this object's year < input object's year);

after is just the reverse

Sneaky way that violates encapsulation but is much much quicker lol

return (this object's unix timestamp < input object's unix timestamp);

but this would require you to construct the timestamp in the non-default constructor and that may not fly with your prof.

ty everyone for your help submitted what i had.

He went threw it in class with us... half the stuff he went and got off google; rest we've never heard of like swiches but explained them while doing them.

Your teacher sounds incredibly shitty if he's teaching things after the assignment is handed in...

[Anomander]

Thats a 300 level course in the CS department and you are just now learning switches? What the fuck. (Not trying to call you stupid in any way, it sounds like the department at your school is a bit retarded). We had a full year of required intro programming classes before we took any upper division courses (and switches were in the very first one).
