Day of the Week Program

[LiiArch]

I know the basics of what I need to do, but can't seem to get it all to work. I am using Visual C++ Express.

#include <iostream>
#include <string> 
using namespace std; 

int main(void)
{
  string Days[7]={"Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday",
                  "Friday","Saturday"}; 
  int a,month,year,y,day,m,d;

  cout <<"Enter the month (1-12): ";
  cin >>month;
  cout <<"Enter the date (1-31): ";
  cin >>day;
  cout <<"Enter the year (>1582): ";
  cin >>year;

  cout <<endl <<"The Date: "<<month<<"/"<<day<<"/"<<year
       <<" Falls on a: "<< Days[d]<<endl;
  return 0;
}

Somewhere in there, there needs to be this algorithm (and I don't quite know where):

// Assume that month, day and year have been read in
	 
	a = (14-month)/12;
 	y=year-a;
	m = month+12*a-2; 
	d = (day+y+y/4-y/100+y/400+(31*m/12))%7; 

Is the rest of the code okay?

What are you trying to do?

[LiiArch]

You input any month, day, and year and the program will tell you what day (Sun, Mon, etc) that date falls on.

How do you plan on achieving that ?
