4 month calendar

[preslieee]

I need to write a program with the following instructions. I have started it but I am in desperate for help! This is a homework assignment that due tonight April 11th at midnight. If you can write a program including the following, please please please help me!
THANK YOU!!!


Description:

The purpose of this program is to introduce you to arrays. You will create a simple day planner/journal that will allow a user to choose a month, then choose a date, then write and store a note for that day. Your program should allow your user to work with the current month and the following four months (April 2014 - July 2014).

You must implement the following features, using functions where noted (you may use more functions than are noted if you wish):

four arrays, one for each month required, with the proper number of days for each
the ability for the user to select the desired month
Create a function for each of the following requirements:
the ability to view the entire month's notes at once
the ability for the user to select the desired day, and do the following with that day:
view the note
delete/clear the note
overwrite the note
the ability for the user to save all of her/his information to a text file
the ability for the user to retrieve all of her/his information from a text file
Note: you should not create a separate function for each month (don not create a function called ViewMonthApril, ViewMonthMay, etc)

your program source code must be neatly and consistently formatted [10 points]
your program cannot have any global variables (including global arrays) [15 points]
your program must compile and run without errors [15 points]
the four required months as arrays with the proper number of days for each [15 points]
user can select and work with a specific month [5 points]
user can view the whole month at once (function) [5 points]
user can view a single day's note (function) [5 points]
user can clear a single day's note (function) [5 points]
user can overwrite a single day's note (function) [5 points]
user can save program data to file (function) [5 points]
user can retrieve program data from file (function) [5 points]
your program source code must be documented correctly, including proper documentation for each of your functions [10 points]

This is not a homework service.
Attempt to write it and we will help with any questions you have.

I will, how can i upload screenshots to this forum?

You can paste your code here using code tags.

the errors im getting are:
"80:6 redefinition of 'void viewNote(std::string*)'"
"73:6 'void viewNote(std::string*)' previously defined"
87:6 redefiniftion of 'void viewNote(std::string*)'
91:7 expected ';' before 'date'

and error in line 24 'viewNote' was not declared.
also in the second switch case it says the 'viewNote' was not delcared.

You haven't put a function prototype for viewNote before the main function, so the compiler doesn't know what it is. You either need to move the function definition before main, or put a function prototype before main.

and here... you're not sending any parameters to viewNote, so the compiler thinks it's an undeclared variable.

cout << userChoice << ":" << viewNote << endl;

Why do you have three definitions of viewNote?

[preslieee]

i have three definitions for viewNote because i thought i would have to do that for all four months. Where can i declare the function in main and to work in the switch case?

[AbstractionAnon]

Did you not read the instructions on how to use code tags?

[wildblue]

Function prototype gives the compiler basic info about the function

returntype FunctionName (parameter types);

So if you want to send an array, include the [] so the compiler knows the parameter is an array, and you can include an int so you can send the function the array size. So one function can handle different arrays with different sizes.

void viewNote (string [], int);

Function prototypes go before main function.

//function prototypes
//main function
//function definitions 

You're overwriting the month they pick in userChoice with the day they then choose here.

cout << "Pick month:" << endl;
cout << "1 for April, 2 for May, 3 for June, 4 for July" << endl;
cin >> userChoice;
cout << "Pick day" << endl;
cin >> userChoice;

[preslieee]

where do i make the changes to define the function?

[wildblue]

The function definition goes after the main function definition.


int main()
{
//do stuff
//call function
//viewNote(arrayname, size)
}

void viewNote (string month[], int arraySize)
{
//do stuff here
}
