Decision and loop statements

4. 

Implement the GetMonth function as follows:

int GetMonth() 

{ 

    Console::Write("Month? "); 

    String ^input = Console::ReadLine(); 

    int month = Convert::ToInt32(input); 

    return month; 

}

This is a simplified implementation; later in this chapter, you will enhance the function to en-

sure that the user enters a valid month.

5. 

Implement the GetDay function as follows:

int GetDay(int year, int month) 

{ 

    Console::Write("Day? "); 

    String ^input = Console::ReadLine(); 

    int day = Convert::ToInt32(input); 

    return day; 

}

Later, you will enhance this function to ensure that the user enters a valid day for the given 

year and month.

6. 

Implement the DisplayDate function as shown in the following code to display the date as 

three numbers:

void DisplayDate(int year, int month, int day) 

{ 

    Console::WriteLine("\nThis is the date you entered:"); 

    Console::Write(year); 

    Console::Write("-"); 

    Console::Write(month); 

    Console::Write("-"); 

    Console::Write(day); 

    Console::WriteLine(); 

}

Later in this chapter you will enhance this function to display the date in a more user-friendly 

format.

7. 

Add the following code inside the main method, immediately before the return 0; Line:

Console::WriteLine("Welcome to your calendar assistant"); 

Console::WriteLine("\nPlease enter a date"); 

int year = GetYear(); 

int month = GetMonth(); 

int day = GetDay(year, month);
