Question

Hi Zelatko, Thank you for your reply, it works very well;) correctdate is a part of the main program.In main program I want to calculate days between two dates.Could you help me why it doesn't work? I'me new in c++ and don't know how to use reference variables in main program.

Regards, Tina

Here are error messages: error C2374: 'iss' : redefinition; multiple initialization error C2088: '>>' : illegal for class

Answer

Hello Tina

In your days function, you have two instances of iss being declared. You have istringstream iss(datum1); and istringstream iss(datum2); So the compiler is telling you that you cannot have 2 variables of the same name in the same scope. The easiest thing to do is take the second iss, and rename it iss2. Be careful to rename it in the line iss>>year2>>month2>>day2; too. It should read iss2>>year2>>month2>>day2;

You have not added the corrections from my last message to the correctdate function so you should do that before trying you compile.


Good luck. Zlatko

Hi Zelatko, I've a program that it doesn't work.Could you help me. It's a part of a program.I want to check two dates with this program that if are the correct date or not!

Answer

Hello Tina.

Your program almost works. There are just a couple of problems with it. One problem is that you declared the function string correctdate(string date);

but defined the function string correctdate() { }

The function you defined took no parameters, so the program would not link. The linker was expecting a function that took a string.

The other problem is explained in my comments in the code. My comments start with ZM, so you can search for that.


  1. include <iostream>
  2. include <iomanip>
  3. include <sstream>

using namespace std;

string correctdate(void);

int main() {

   string d1;
   d1 = correctdate();
   return 0;

}

//------------------------------------------ //namn:correctdate //------------------------------------------ string correctdate(void) {

   // ZM initialize your local variables
   int year = 0, month = 0, day = 0;
   string date;
   bool dateok ;
   do
   {
       dateok = true;
       cout<<"\t**********DATE**********\n";
       cout<<"\t write a date (like 1111 11 11): ";
       getline(cin,date);


       /*ZM This will overwrite data, if the user inputs something like 2000 1 1
       If the spaces are not there already, you cannot just put them in because doing
       so will overwrite the user input.
       date[4] =' '; // Remove this line
       date[7] =' '; // Remove this line
       If the spaces are missing, the iss>> will fail, and the variables
       month or day will stay 0, because they are initialized to 0 above.
       Then your program will report the error at the end.
       */
       istringstream iss(date);
       iss>>year>>month>>day;
       if (year<1900 || year>3000)
       {dateok = false;}
       if (month<1 || month>12)
       {dateok = false;}
       if(day <1 || day >31)
       {dateok = false;}
       cout<<endl;
       cout<<"\tYear = "<<year<<endl;
       cout<<"\tMonth = "<<month<<endl;
       cout<<"\tDay = "<<day<< " is a ";
       if (dateok)
       {cout<<"date is okey ."<<endl;}
       else
       {cout<<" date is not okey.try again !!!"<<endl<<endl;}
   }while(!dateok);
   return date;

}
