CHAPTER 5

 

Decision and loop statements 

 65

Year

Leap year?

1996

Yes

1997

No

1900

No

2000

Yes

You then use a nested if statement to test the bool variable isLeapYear so that you can assign an ap-

propriate value to maxDay.

Note  There is no explicit test in the nested if statement. The condition if (isLeapYear) is 

equivalent to if (isLeapYear != false).

In this exercise, you will enhance your Calendar Assistant application to deal correctly with leap 

years.

1. 

Continue working with the project from the previous exercise.

2. 

Modify the GetDay function, replacing the if…else if…else statements to match the block of 

code just described to test for leap years.

3. 

Build and run the application. Type the year 1996 and the month 2. The application prompts 

you to enter a day between 1 and 29. Type a valid day and then when the date is displayed, 

close the console window.

4. 

Run the application again. Type the year 1997 and the month 2. Verify that the application 

prompts you to enter a day between 1 and 28.

5. 

Run the application several more times using the test data from the previous table.
