Help on this project

swampcroc (6)
I have this project due in an hour and needed some help if any of you can. I need it to accept input of any date in the form of MM/DD/YYYY, and convert it to:

Month, date, year. this is my code so far:

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

enum typeMonth {January = 1, February, March, April, May, June, July,
August, September, October, November, December};

int main(){

int MM, DD, YYYY;
cout << "This will converts your input of the date to a different format" << endl;
cout << "Enter a date: ";
cin >> MM;
cin.ignore(2, '/') << endl;
cin << DD;
cin.ignore(2, '/') << endl;
cin << YYYY << endl;
string xMonth;

cout << "The date you entered is MM/DD/YYYY";



return 0;



}

the part where it says "the date you have entered" is just to see if everything is working right, its not what i need

What exactly are you trying to see?

i want to be able to type for example 4/3/2013 and have it convert it to April, 3, 2013

i need to use enum and static cast the month variable

im thinking of using a switch statement

No don't, change the last line to

std::cout << MM << "/" << DD << "/" << YYYY << "\n";

(You don't have to type the std::: prefix)

:)

string Month;

switch(MM)
{
	case 1:
		Month = "January";
	break;
	case 2:
		Month = "Febuary";
	break;
	case 3:
		Month = "March";
	break;
	case 4:
		Month = "April";
	break;
	case 5:
		Month = "May";
	break;
	case 6:

	break;
	case 7:
		Month = "July";
	break;
	case 8:
		Month = "August";
	break;
	case 9:
		Month = "Spetember";
		break;
	case 10:
		Month = "October";
	break;
	
	case 11:
		Month = "November";
	break;
	
	case 12:
		Month = "December";
	break;
}

Then output it like:

[code]cout << Month << DD << YYYY;

Sorry if you didn't get your project in on time, but is this good enough?
