1. 

Continue working with the project from the previous exercise.

2. 

Replace the GetDay function with the following code so that it uses an if-else-if statement to 

determine the maximum allowable number of days.

int GetDay(int year, int month) 

{ 

    int maxDay; 

    if (month == 4 || month == 6 || month == 9 || month == 11) 

    { 

        maxDay = 30; 

    } 

    else if (month == 2) 

    { 

        maxDay = 28; 

    } 

    else 

    { 

        maxDay = 31; 

    } 

    Console::Write("Day [1 to "); 

    Console::Write(maxDay); 

    Console::Write("]? "); 

 

    String ^input = Console::ReadLine(); 

    int day = Convert::ToInt32(input); 

    return day; 

}

3. 

Build and run the application. Type the year 2012 and the month 1.

The application prompts you to enter a day between 1 and 31, as illustrated in the following 

screen shot:

4. 

Type a valid day and close the console window when the date is displayed.
