CISC1600: Computer Science I Lab Quiz2

Instruction: Write a program that * first display 20 * in the terminal (you need to use a loop to do this) * then prompts the user to enter two dates in the format of MM/DD/YYYY * terminate the program if the dates are not valid (i.e., month is not in the range of 1 and 12, or day is not in the range of 1 and 31, or year is negative). * compare the two dates and report either

• The two dates are same
• date 1 is before date 2
• date1 is after date 2

An example run of your program is as follows, where the user inputs are underlined, and the program output are shown in regular format:

$ ./a.out
********************
Enter date 1 in the format of MM/DD/YYYY:
12/13/2000
Enter date 2 in the format of MM/DD/YYYY:
12/13/2010
date 1 is before date 2

$ ./a.out
********************
Enter date 1 in the format of MM/DD/YYYY:
14/13/2000
Invalid date! 

• First write out at least one version of step-by-step procedure your program will follow. You shall refine the procedure so that it's clear to translate/implement in C++
• Code based upon your procedure
• Submit your code after you have tested it using a few testcases.

Coding Style Requirement:

1. Please indent your code in as required.
2. Use descriptive names for variables
3. Use blank lines to separate the code into appropriate blocks
4. Be sure to include comments to help others understand your program, and help yourself think!

How to submit

When ready, submit your program on the following link: submit your quiz2.cpp file here.

https://storm.cis.fordham.edu:8443/web/project/746

The autograder will compile your code, and run four testcases.
