As I am novice to C++, I would like to get help from the experts writing simple program for the following problem...

Write a C++ program that reads a month number as an integer (form 1 to 12) and a d ay number as an integer (form 1 to 31).
If the month entered is not between 1 and 12 inclusive, print a message informing the user that an invalid month has been entered. If the day entered is not between 1 and 31 inclusive, print a message informing the user that an invalid day has been entered.

If no error messages are displayed, print “Winter” if the month is in the range 1-3, “Spring” if the month is in the range 4-6, “Summer” if the month is in the range 7-9, and “Autumn” otherwise.


Thank you...

honestly im new to C++ the first part of ur question sounds fun :) but the second part is kinda tricky a if then in a if then. The best kind of programmer should try his hardest to figure it out on his own its the best kid of accomplishment. only result to help with teeth gritting, have fun bro sorry i couldnt help im in school now and i dont have my book id help tho. good luck

try this (part of program only) -
-----------------------------------------------------------------
int month;
int day;

std::cout << "Enter the Month" << std::endl;
std::cin >> month;

if ((month < 1) || (month > 12))
  std::cout << "Invalid Month entered" << std::endl;
else
  std::cout << "Month acceptable" << std::endl;

std::cout << "Enter the Day" << std::endl;
std::cin >> day;

if ((day < 1) || (day > 31))
  std::cout << "Invalid Day entered" << std::endl;
else
  std::cout << "Day acceptable" << std::endl;

switch (month)
{
  case 1:
  case 2:
  case 3:
    std::cout << "Winter" << std::endl;
    break;
  case 4:
  case 5:
  case 6:
    std::cout << "Spring" << std::endl;
    break;
  case 7:
  case 8:
  case 9:
    std::cout << "Summer" << std::endl;
    break;
  default:
    std::cout << "Winter" << std::endl;
    break;

Go to your text books and look up IF and SWITCH in the index. Then read the
text and follow the examples. Then try to write your own code. This will help
you learn C++. Otherwise other people are doing all the work for you and you will not learn.

I do agree we shouldn't just give you the code and let you copy and paste it, however I'll help you as best as I can.

I assume if the user inputs an invalid number, the program will prompt the user to input the number again, whether it be from the month or day. The problem with Alan-LB's code, is that the program will not exit or prompt the user for a valid input, if the user doesn't do so. For instance, if the user inputs 13, Alan's coding will simply go through the program output messages saying an invalid input has been made, then output winter as the default.

You would want a while loop that checks whether or not months were valid and re-prompt the user for another input, if invalid. Same goes for days. There's no need for the else statements. The switch case that Alan mentioned would be adequate, although it should be Autumn in the default, not Winter.

My code was merely an attempt to give a basic answer to the OP's posting. It was not intended to be a working program but only an illustration of the IF..ELSE and SWITCH commands. Like you I dont believe in writing complete programs for a student to copy blindly as his homework!!

You are right about Autumn as the default

 I am very glad to see the all posts. I do agree with Alan. As a novice, you should try your best to write you own code.

you should check whether the number is between 1 &12 for the month.
if yes,only then go for entering and checking the day between 1 and 31;else ask him to enter between 1 and 12.
after that check for the range in which month falls and print the message.

Rashmid,

Please take the time to read the code that I have posted - if you read it you will see that I do check the values for the month and day.

The code I posted was not intended to be a complete working program but as I said in my post "part of program only". I was giving an example of a basic "if/else problem" which the OP, who describes himself as a "novice to C++", had originally requested.

There is often little benefit in posting complete working programs in answer to simple basic questions.
